Soma

It is frequently mentioned in the Rigveda, whose Soma Mandala contains many hymns praising its energizing qualities

In Neil Gaiman’s “American Gods”, Soma is described as “concentrated prayer and belief, distilled into a potent liqueur” by Mr. Wednesday (aka: “Odin the All-Father”).

In Aldous Huxley’s dystopian novel Brave New World, soma is a popular dream-inducing drug
