Mushrooms are the safest safest recreational drug.
INSIDE THE MIND OF AMANDA FEILDING, COUNTESS OF PSYCHEDELIC SCIENCE
If LSD is having its renaissance, 75-year-old English countess Amanda Feilding is its Michelangelo.
AUTHOR: MATT SIMONBY MATT SIMONAMANDA FEILDING, COUNTESS of Wemyss and March, also known as Lady Neidpath, sits cross-legged on a bench on a tiny island at the center of an artificial pond in her English country estate, a 15-minute drive outside of Oxford. At her feet is a tiny pure-white cloud of a dog, which traipses around chewing on the grass, only occasionally coughing it up.
Feilding is 75 years old. She wears a black skirt and knee-high boots and grips a tan shawl around her shoulders, on account of this being a gray November morning. From her ears hang jewelry that looks like green rock candy. Her light brown hair is frizzy but not altogether unkempt.
In the distance, peeking over a towering hedge, is her castle, built in the 1520s. “In the ’60s we called it Brainblood Hall,” she says in a posh accent that periodically turns sing-songy and high, à la Julia Child. “We always saw it as the masthead from where this change would happen.”
