Archaic Revival

Archaic Revival is a social and political philosophy of the American writer and philosopher Terence McKenna to describe a cultural and artistic movement that seeks to rediscover and incorporate the wisdom, values, and traditions of ancient cultures, particularly those of indigenous people, into modern life.

Philosophical Beliefs
The Archaic Revival is based on the idea that modern society has lost touch with the natural world and the spiritual dimensions of human existence, and that by reconnecting with ancient wisdom, we can restore balance and harmony to our lives and the planet. It involves a rejection of the dominant culture's values and a search for alternative ways of living that are more in tune with the rhythms of nature.

Influences
The Archaic Revival has influenced a wide range of fields, including art, music, literature, philosophy, and spirituality. It has inspired the psychedelic movement, eco-activism, and the resurgence of interest in shamanism and other indigenous spiritual practices.
