Some people reach out to the mystical.
And sometimes it’s the mystical that reaches out and pulls people in.
“A wonderful thriller from the world of shamanism and sacred plants.” -Luis Eduardo Luna Ph.D Author of Vegetalismo
BOOK SYNOPSIS
Carson Reynolds heads off on another routine documentary shoot. Or so he thinks. He has no clue that it will lead him down the ancient medicine road—a mystical path illuminated by sacred consciousness-altering substances
Almost beyond his choice, Carson is pulled into experiences and studies that bend his mind and stretch his beliefs past the breaking point. Reality takes on a whole new meaning as he becomes embroiled in a series of encounters with dark “Visitors” intent upon subjugating the human race with Mayan prophecy-like purpose. Near accidents in the real world that threaten Carson’s life become all too common.
Starting with an old Native American shaman named Wounded Paw, Carson learns he must reclaim hidden spiritual abilities. Then he is sent to Rhiannon, an exotic modern priestess who follows a number of Eastern traditions that parallel or intersect the Native American way. In one of his sessions with Rhiannon, Carson meets a wrathful Tibetan deity who might be an ally…or who might just as easily destroy his soul.
Can Carson gain enough skill to save himself and join the ranks of global medicine workers in their efforts to shield humanity from suffering and annihilation.
