Inhaltsangabe

Once you get off the reservations, most Americans have no idea of the beauty and transformational power of a Medicine Man running a Sweat Lodge. Northern Paiute shamanic healing practices were kept secret for countless thousands of years until Evelyn Eaton and Roy Day revealed them for the first time. Ostensibly written as an anthropology thesis about the effects of Christianity on traditional Northern Paiute ritual practices, this book is really the story of Grandfather Raymond Stone, Grandmother Eve Eaton, spiritual healing, and Roy's personal journey as he was trained to be a shaman.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

This three-book autobiography in poetry covers the first forty years of an unusual life. He begins as a soccer star and senior class president, who four months after graduation falls seven stories, who then in a wheelchair, writes, coaches, practices Karate, and spends three years training to be shaman. Although Day is what Bob Marley calls "a natural mystic," like so many of his generation, he dealt with periods of partying too hard and exhibiting what seemed like self-destructive behavior. His first forty years - his spiritual journey, his loves, the dark side, all the near-death experiences, political, religious, and social commentary, his love of Nature and Mother Earth - it is a complex life revealed in poetry. Although Day began writing poetry in early adolescence, the first book begins his senior year and covers the next turbulent twelve years. The second book in the trilogy is a complete love affair and covers a couple of years. The third book is more or a normal poetry collection taking him to forty. Roy has attempted to make it almost exclusively poetry, but has supplied enough prose to provide context for the interested.
