Merilyn Tunneshende
Merilyn Tunneshende learned the secrets of Dream Power, energetic healing, and sorcery from don Juan Matus, the Toltec shaman who mentored Carlos Castaneda. This book is her personal story of over 30 years of interaction with the mystical guides, dreams, and prophecies of the Maya. Through her journey we learn of the power of transmutational energies and how they might be applied to heal and transform our world. Like many in the 1970s, Tunneshende had plans to travel the world beatnik-style, beginning with Mexico. Traumatized by the sudden death of her fiance after a series of premonitions, Merilyn found her adventurous trip transformed into a path of spiritual awakening, which took her into an intense apprenticeship with Toltec shaman don Juan Matus. After becoming a fully initiated Toltec sorceress and Nagual Dreaming Woman, she experienced a second trauma that threw her from the path of mystical study back into the everyday world of the West. For years she pursued her career as a teacher and linguist - all but dismissing her former mystical experiences as madness. When a series of dreams begin to pervade her consciousness and she received a heart-breaking diagnosis that she had AIDS, Merilyn returned to the world of Mayan prophecy and nagualist training in order to unleash the powers of transmutative energies in healing her own body and actualizing transcendent liberation.

Tom Brown, Jr.
Here is the incredible true story of a Native American whose tribe roamed free, far from the chaos we call “civilisation.” His wisdom is a remarkable integration of different philosophies, of different peoples, tribes, and religions. Tom Brown, Jr., shares the insights of his beloved teacher - insights that speak to the eternal spirit within us all. “Grandfather was an anachronism. Modern time and place had no value in his world, for his world was without limits or time. His world was that of nature and eternity. He was truly one of the ancients, part man, part animal, and almost entirely spirit. His home was the wilderness, and in wilderness he tested all things. Most of all, he was a searcher for truth. His was a life of grand simplicity that few would ever know, where true riches were defined in beauty...” Tom Brown, Jr.

Alberto Villoldo & Erik Jendresen
Island of the Sun recounts the American psychologist Alberto Volloldo’s return to Peru in search of the Quechua Indian shaman Don Jicaram. The authors’ earlier book, Dance of the Four Winds, described Villoldo’s first initiation, under Don Jicaram, into the secrets of the Inca Medicine Wheel and the spiritual journey of the Four Winds. Villoldo had begun that journey in the South, “where one goes to confront and shed the past.” With use of the powerful mind-altering plant ayahuasca, he had continued to the West, a direction inhabited by fear and death. Now in Island of the Sun he prepares himself for the journey to the North, where lies the wisdom of the ancient Inca shamans. Travelling from Machu Picchu to the “Island of the Sun,” a sacred site in Bolivia, Villoldo uncovers a profound secret about the journey to the East - the journey home.

John (Fire) Lame Deer & Richard Erdoes
Storyteller, rebel, medicine man, Lame Deer was born eighty years ago on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. A full-blooded Sioux, he has been many things in the white man's world - rodeo clown, painter, prisoner. But, above all, he is a holy man of the Lakota tribe. The story he tells is one of harsh youth and reckless manhood, shotgun marriage and divorce, and of his fierce struggle to keep pride alive, though living as a stranger in his own ancestral land. A great classic. Highly recommended.

Recorded by Walter Dyk
With a simplicity as disarming as it is frank, Left Handed tells of his birth in the spring ‘when the cottonwood leaves were about the size of my thumbnail,’ of family chores such as guarding the sheep near the hogan, and of his sexual awakening. As he grows older, his account turns to life in the open, nomadic cattle raising, farming, trading, communal enterprises, tribal dances and ceremonies, lovemaking, and marriage. As Left Handed develops in understanding and stature the accumulated wisdom of his peoples is made known to him. He learns the Navajo life founded upon principles: the necessity of honesty, foresightedness, self-discipline. The style of the narrative is almost biblical in its rhythms, but biblical too, in many respects, is the traditional way of life it recounts.

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.
