Download or read book THE SHAMAN OF THE ALLIGEWI written by Michael R. Hall and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-06-13 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long before any European ever set foot in North America, a young boy was about to enter manhood in his powerful tribe located in the Ohio Valley. It was 250 A.D. There was only one problem: the boy had been determined by tribal members to be the cause of bad luck. His efforts to redeem himself by participating in dangerous tribal ceremonies ultimately backfire making matters much much worse. With his very life now at stake, he is magically reborn and transformed against his will into a shaman's apprentice. He starts the process of learning his new role with his new family and gradually begins to understand the magic in all of nature and in the parallel universe of the spirit world. He is acquiring the profound and crucial powers of a shaman of a mighty people; but also the humility and responsibility that comes with such power. The story is replete with descriptions of the daily activities of an early eastern woodland culture together with the native plant and wild animal interactions that often occurred to a people living in such close proximity to nature on a daily basis.

Download or read book The Shaman written by John A. Grim and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tribal peoples believe that the shaman experiences, absorbs, and communicates a special mode of power, sustaining and healing. This book discusses American Indian shamanic traditions, particularly those of the Woodland Ojibway, in terms drawn from the classical shamanism of Siberian peoples. Using a cultural-historical method, John A. Grim describes the spiritual formation of shamans, male and female, and elucidates the special religious experience that they transmit to their tribes. Writing as a historian of religion well acquainted with ethnological materials, Grim identifies four patterns in the shamanic experience: cosmology, tribal sanction, ritual reenactment, and trance experience. Relating those concepts to the Siberian and Ojibway experiences, he draws on mythology, sociology, anthropology, and psychology to paint a picture of shamanism that is both particularized and interpretative. As religious personalities, shamans are important today because of their singular ability to express symbolically the forces that animate the tribal cosmology. Often identifying themselves with primordial earth processes, shamans develop symbol systems drawn from the archetypal earth images that are vital to their psychic healing technique. This particular ability to resonate with the natural world is felt as an important need in our time. Those readers who identify with American Indians as they confront modern technological society will value this introduction to our native shamanic traditions and to the religious experience itself. The author's discussion of Ojibway practices is the most comprehensive short treatment available, written with a fine poetic feeling that reflects the literary expressiveness inherent in American Indian religion and thought.

Book Synopsis Visions of a Huichol Shaman by : Peter T. Furst
Download or read book Visions of a Huichol Shaman written by Peter T. Furst and published by UPenn Museum of Archaeology. This book was released on 2007-01-12 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brilliant visionary yarn paintings of the shaman-artist Jose Benitez Sanchez emerge transformed into two-dimensional form from fleeting, sublime visionary experiences triggered by the complex chemistry of the divine peyote cactus. Benitez's visions are of the Huichol universe in Mexico's rugged Sierra Madre Occidental, as that world came into being in the First Times of creation and transformation and in the ongoing magic of a natural environment that is alive and without firm boundaries between the here and now and the ancestral past. Modern yarn paintings—more than 30 in the University of Pennsylvania Museum's collection are illustrated here—have their roots in the sacred art of communication with numberless male and female ancestors and native deities, related in the two remarkable Huichol origin myths also presented here to shed some light on Native American culture and provide some understanding of the religious experience that informs it.

This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if the lost colony of Roanoke Island moved fifty miles north, as originally intended, and became assimilated into an Indian tribe there? This question is answered, and the world of a Native American culture is revealed at the time of first contact with English people. Natishma is a boy from the Chesapeake tribe of Tidewater Virginia. He is take into the spirit world after fainting from heat exhaustion and told that a moon-colored people will arrive in his native land by the time he is initiated into manhood. Although he has a physical deformity and is bullied by his peers, he is chosen to be the shaman who will attempt to lead his and the surrounding tribes to accept the new arrivals. Natishma's vision quests reveal to him that if the tribes resist the new people when they arrive, the tribes will disappear from the earth. Their spiritual life will survive only if they walk the path of peaceful coexistence with the people they see as a backward and unclean race. The English have barking sticks that kill, and often after they leave a village, a large portion of the population is wiped out by a mysterious disease. In 1586, when it becomes too dangerous for the English colonists to remain on Roanoke Island, the majority choose to move north and live among the Chesapeakes. The colonists intermarry and live with the tribe for twenty years before they and the Chesapeakes are destroyed by Wahunsonacock (Powhatan) who believes a prophecy foretelling of his destruction by people to the east. Natishma is told that the sacred way of life will reawaken many generations in the future to save people who have forgotten their deep spritual roots. -- taken from back cover.
