Erowid

Erowid is an online library

The simplest ‘translation’ of Erowid is ‘Earth Wisdom’ or the ‘Knowledge of Existence’, but the word is intended to evoke a number of related ideas and connotations. Erowid alludes to a sense of living knowledge which is inherent to the world: a sort of universal birthright. It suggests wisdom which arises out of the fabric of existence and love of knowledge and learning.
