Description
A new book by the author of the bestseller “The War of the Indians of the Wild West.” The first encyclopedia of Indigenous beliefs and rituals.
Everything about shamanic practices of the native peoples of North America—battle and healing magic, both white and dark; incredible abilities and terrifying manifestations of Power; guides from the world of humans into the world of spirits and traditions of using psychoactive substances that open “the gates of dreams.” This is not a literary mystification like the writings of the notorious Carlos Castaneda, who profited from the public’s craving for mysterious and “otherworldly” things—according to the Indigenous people themselves, his books have “more in common with ‘journeys’ after taking LSD than with genuine Indigenous culture.” Instead, it is a professional study based on the latest discoveries of historians, ethnologists, and anthropologists.
Do you know that Indigenous shamans were able to heal even the most severe wounds and diseases—cancer, tuberculosis, rabies, gangrene—long before European doctors; they successfully fought scurvy when white doctors still attributed it to “bad air,” and many American officers preferred to be treated not by army surgeons but by “savages”—healers? What do you know about the dark side of shamanism—witchcraft, werewolves, suppressing the will from afar, and murders with the help of ritual spells; about symptoms indicating the influence of sorcery and methods of protection from it; about Indigenous amulets, charms, and rites that save from evil will? This book will open your eyes to the secret world of Indigenous North Americans—where outsiders are not allowed—and help you look beyond the edge of our reality, bringing you into the mysteries of the Spirits and the sources of Power.
