(Did you mean a Van Splawn fanzine?)
From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959 |
(Margaret St. Clair) A fabulous drink appearing in various fannish and minor pro epics. It actually exists as a sort of sacramental wine (the astringent, narcotic juice of Sarcostemma viminale) in the Hindu religion. |
From Fancyclopedia 2 Supplement, ca. 1960 |
A more authoritative source of the word as a stfnal term is Huxley's Brave New World, not the St. Clair stories cited originally. |
- “Soma Fun, Hey Keed?” by Arthur H. Rapp, Dream Quest (April 1948, p. 13).
