Summary: VERY EASY TO READ/COMPREHEND
Review: As a life long seeker of truth who has recently found himself upon the Red Road I found Eagle Man's book to be very profound with many moving first hand accounts of every day people from all walks of life who have been touched by his teaching. In all I found his message very appealing though I did cringe at the author's admission to embracing certain exclusionary & blatently racist views regarding participation in ceremony & ritual. These views stand in stark contrast to the whole of his message.

Summary: exploitation???
Review: Ed McGaa, writing about what he is called to write about, has the blessed good fortune to be published. The ceremonies he writes about have meaning to him and he wishes to share their essence with the readers. There is nothing about exploitation in this. What this book does is send a message of hope that people will do SOMETHING in themselves to correct their insane ways and reconnect with the living Spirit that flows through Nature. Small minds need opening. Small hearts need opening. Envy is a disease of the soul. 1000 blessings to Ed McGaa, whoever he is, for his beautiful efforts. Small stones dropped in the water make ever-expanding rings. It is for readers to reflect on the meaning of what is written. Noone has to go out and perform rituals that are not theirs. There is something universal in all people's rituals, however. The wise see it and can work with it. The lazy idiots sit back and sling mud. When has it ever been otherwise? Bright Blessings.

Summary: Peddling Sacrelidge
Review: Telling people how to perform ceremonies that they have no qualifications for or experience in is sacrelidgeous. Period. Anyone who practices or performs these ceremonies (who hasn't cashed in on their ancestry for twenty bucks a pop) knows this. I have done extensive research on this kind of cultural misappropriation (Ward Churchill has, among many others, an excellent book called Indians Are Us? that contains an essay on Mr. McGaa and other "plastic medicine men"). The person who stated the fact that this book is sacrelidgeous is not close-minded, he or she is aware of the facts. You cannot claim part of someone else's religion for your own.

Summary: Stories of people taking the natural way
Review: This book is a collection of stories of people taking the natural way instead of the closed minded dogma of most religion.In this book Mr. McGaa releases more of his distaste for "christianity" I suffered too much at the hands of "christians" as well. If you are interested in taking the natural way; this book offers some guideposts to follow. If your mind and heart are closed; as demonstrated by the reviewer from San Francisco below; go back to you dogmatic religion where you are forced to give your power away to the people in power. I wish you peace. Minds and hearts are like parachutes. They only work when they are open. Questions or comments E-Mail me. Two Bears Wah doh Ogedoda
