In chapter five of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll introduces the enigmatic, mind-reading Caterpillar, who sits on a large mushroom and parries Alice’s inquires into the state of her being. The vaguely Eastern imagery of the hookah-smoking Caterpillar combined with the size-altering effects of the mushroom he sits on has proven popular over the years with people interested in both paranormal and hallucinogenic investigations.
