THE BRAZILIAN HEALER WITH THE KITCHEN KNIFE: & Other Stories of Mystics, Shamans, & Miracle-Makers Ref: RFD946

Sandy Johnson

Moved by her own struggle to recover from breast cancer, Sandy Johnson explores with curiosity and a measure of healthy skepticism the work of healers, miracle-makers, and transformers of the mind, body, and soul. She travels the world - from a beachside compound in Hawaii to a remote village in Brazil - to meet face-to-face with the most acclaimed healers. She often experiences their work first-hand and reports, with fascinating detail, the story of their real-life miracles and incredible feats. She also writes about the wonder of the "placebo effect," which seems to give some people the faith they need to begin healing on their own. Amongst the many healers you'll meet there is John of God, the Brazilian with the kitchen knife, who treats as many as 3,000 people at a time, excising tumors, ending blindness, and curing arthritis and cancer at his Casa de San Inacio in a remote Brazilian village.

CROW DOG: Four Generations of Sioux Medicine Men Ref: RWB0445

Leonard Crow Dog & Richard Erdoes

In January 1890, Leonard Crow Dog’s great-grandfather, Jerome Crow Dog, surrendered to the U.S. army; he was the last of the ghost dancers, who brought a new way of praying, of relating to the spirits. Ninety-three years later, Leonard Crow Dog revived the ghost dance at Wounded Knee. One of the leading medicine men in Native America today, Leonard Crow Dog recounts four generations of family history - Jerome was the first Native American to win a case in the Supreme Court; Leonard’s father, Henry, introduced peyote to the Lakota; as spiritual leader of the American Indian Movement, Leonard was present at the 1972 march on Washington and the siege of Wounded Knee in 1973. Together with Richard Erdoes he gives a stirring account of both events - a horror story of government brutality and vindictiveness, of prejudice and injustice. Leonard also explains tribal ceremonies and their meaning and gives fascinating insight into the spiritual life of Native Americans. A book not to be missed. REMAINDER MARK.

LAKOTA WOMAN Ref: REA364

Mary Crow Dog with Richard Erdoes

Mary Brave Bird grew up fatherless in a one-room cabin, without running water or electricity, on a South Dakota reservation.

Lakota Woman is a unique document unparalleled in American Indian literature, a story of death, of determination against all odds, and of the cruelties perpetrated against Native Americans during the last several decades. It is also a deeply moving account of a woman's triumphant struggle to survive in a hostile world. Movingly written, an excellent read. Remainder mark.

LONG LIFE, HONEY IN THE HEART: A Story of Initiation & Eloquence from the Shores of a Mayan Lake Ref: RFD238

Martin Prechtel

In Secrets of the Talking Jaguar, Martin Prechtel told of his fourteen years as a shaman in the ancient Mayan village of Santiago Atitlan. Now he continues his story, describing his role as village chief and initiator and examining the complexity of the Mayan religious and social universe against a backdrop of political and social intrigue. Much of the book is about his efforts to restore the ritual initiations that prepare the youths for adulthood through processes designed to imbue the youthful soul with an understanding of life as being deeply rooted in nature, so that as adults they can sing like a bird, so that their lives will taste like the ripe fruit on the tree. When the Spanish colonisers tried to ban the initiation process, it was cunningly concealed behind the Spanish imposed organisation of a civil militia. Now it is once again under threat, as part of government efforts to destroy the spiritual traditions of the Maya - the civil militias are to be disbanded. Prechtel organises an alternative initiation, until, as one of Guatemala's most famous Shamen and as a stalwart protector of traditional spirituality, he is forced to flee the country in fear of his life. “A Superbly written work…Perhaps most remarkable is the luminous eloquence of Prechtel’s language-the book is written in a style worthy of the reverence accorded by most oral peoples to the beauty of living language…It’s a landmark text, a kind of talisman filled with clues for those working on behalf of the wild, more-than-human earth. Don’t miss it.” -David Abram author of The Spell of the Sensuous. Highly recommended.

MYSTIC GLYPHS: An Oracle Based on Native American Symbols Ref: RXD093

Barb Rogers

Barb Rogers combines authentic translations of Anasazi petroglyphs, found on rocks near her home, with years of experience reading the tarot to create an innovative, effective, brand-new divination system. Easier to learn and to read than the tarot, yet borrowing familiar, proven techniques, Rogers uses the imagery of Native American petroglyphs in the way the glyphs were originally intended - to tell stories. The stories they tell help us answer our questions, make choices in life and love and work, and point us to our proper path. Rogers chose the 72 glyphs for the deck based on years of work in the field, in museums, and in reference books. She chose those images that speak to our lives on a primal level and can be used to focus on everything from ordinary events and concerns of work and love to the mystical. Like astrology and tarot, the glyph cards are a useful and usable tool in any vision quest. Book and cards.

THE NATIVE AMERICAN SWEAT LODGE Ref: REA212

Joseph Bruchac

"Bruchac presents a thrifty and cogent explanation of the function and role of sweat lodges both historically and in the present. Sweat lodges are part of nearly every native North American culture and have always played an important role in rituals of healing, preparation, and prayer. Bruchac discusses the repression of sweats, first by the Spaniards and later by the U.S. government, and notes the hypocrisy of these bans, since saunas and other therapeutic steam baths were popular across Europe for centuries... To deepen our understanding of the significance of sweat lodges within Native American cultures, Bruchac shares 25 relevant traditional tales from the Lakota, Blackfeet, Nez Perce, Seneca, Navajo, Hopi, Huron, and others." - Booklist.
