The author tells the story of his initiation as a conjure man, a ceremonial healer, with the Choctaw medicine woman Mary Gardener. For 3 years, he studied the arts of power plants and medicine animals, how to manipulate the layers of energy surrounding human beings, and how to use sacred tobacco in ritual, curing and divination. He gives us a glimpse into an alternative reality, in which man and nature, and Western notions of physics do not operate. A fascinating narrative of self-discovery, here is a work rich in spirit and Native American lore that will appeal to anyone interested in alternative beliefs.
