Exceptional
Probably the most authentic insight you will experience into first nation American culture and wisdom. Expertly composed, it feels that the English language is not good enough to transmit the true meanings and knowledge of Medicine ways due to the multi dimensional nature of what is being described - it is a way of being and, a deeply spiritual component of that way. First thing I'm going to do is listen to it again to try to reach another level of understanding - so much more than the beautifully and honestly written words here, well worth the time to listen and has provoked and inspired new thoughts and directions.

Best book I’ve ever read
Thank you so much for writing this book.
I found it so moving. I think it’s such an important story to tell the world. I hope people’s perceptions towards these practices are changing. This book is great for anyone interested in the Native American practices/ shamanic practices and life.

total crap, lies and misinformation for financial
Fraud alert.
Just another cosmic muffin guru bastardizing native teachings. Why do so many of these people sell other "wares" like psychic cards? Come on dude.....
This type of crap always reads of a whinny confused student in touch with love. Where is the native resistance! Where is the perseverance of will. Theres no balance here, just flappy lip mumbo jumbo of look at at me... I gots the power!
Real medicine people dont call themselves shamans. That's not our word. That word isnt from these lands. And powwowing.... who in their right mind uses that word to define power in medicine?
Seriously people, stay away from garbage like this. It's an insult to the spirit.

Fascinating journey into Conjuring
Being someone who is interested in Native American lore and their Stories and Natural Magic/Conjuring I was mesmerized by this book. It reminds me a bit of A Separate Reality by Carlos Castañeda but more about the Animal Spirits and how we interact with them. Good listen.

A different kind of book
This is a narrative of one American Indian 1/2 breed who is led to learn the old ways of native medicine. It's very interesting, well told, great narration. It gets a little repetitive then ends. It starts out with a story then goes into "flashback" but the story isn't finished.,..the reader is never brought up to speed on the beginning situation. Still, very interesting listen.

If i had to choose one book
It would be this book. Davids telling is humble in my opinion. he tried as much as he could not to shame what the old ways are while presenting their existence and importance.

Crossing into medicine country
Narration was very good. The story was nice but you lost me with all the terminology about flades? It began to sound a lot more like new age stuff rather than Native American. I'm not of the belief that Indians are much on numerology.

Interesting insight
If you have questions about indigenous medicine this is not your book. If you want confirmation that there is a whole healing art that has been taken from the world because a people couldn’t understand accept or embrace. Then this is your book to say; yes there was and hopefully enough knowledge was passed down in secrecy that it will rise again.

Ridiculous
Complete waste of time. Bought it so I can learn the names of the plants and what they did. It just says you’re are plants you you can use for this problem., Etc.

A treasure
I loved it but it had a sad ending for me.
Some left very negative reviews. Why read this book if you don’t believe in the supernatural. Don’t waste your time if you don’t.

More garbage
The amount of poorly written or poorly read books on Audible is uncanny. The authors knowledge of his topic is below rudimentary and the reader sounds like an extra from ‘Duck Dynasty’. Technology is not killing books, trash like this being published is.
