DONATE

The Oak Tree Review is an independently run intellectual and artistic project for intrepid knowledge-seekers with a passion for psychedelia. Several of the pieces were written after extensive research that took months, sometimes years, to finalise. All the material is offered for free, yet no ads are featured on the website. The project is wholly self-financed. If you enjoy this work, please consider making a donation via PayPal. Even a very small sum would be greatly appreciated, and would help keeping the project online. Thank you!
