I couldn’t put it down.” (J. The book is a riveting, pleasurable read but is also profoundly sophisticated and deeply informative. It is completely worth the effort and will leave you permanently changed." (Brian Wallace, reviewer, Nov 2008)"It is an e

A medicine path primer This book is a beautifully written chronicle of one man's journey into the Peruvian Amazon in search of healing. It is familiar territory for me, both the outside environment and the incredibly rich psychic landscapes the author describes so well. Robert Tindall has the gift of being able to describe in intimate detail what is often indescribable. When people ask me about ayahuasca and shamanism, I find it very difficult to describe. Now I can simply point to this beautiful book for the best verbal painting that I have read of something that transcends words. I highly recommend this book not only to experienced psychona. Adrian Auler said Seeking the Jaguar. I found this to be the combination of an autobiographical sketch of a seeker's journey, an inside view of Amazonian curandismo, and a touching love story as well.

Even with my . Brian Wallace (Co-author of It's Not Your Hair) said spectacular cat's eye. This book features a powerful tour through the wondrous caverns of the entheogenic, visionary landscape.

I was captivated by the extraordinary insights and intense self-analyzing that keep the reader hypnotized and enriched throughout the process. There are vivid, engaging stories of environmentalism and stories of love. He recalls interesting parables and dabbles in some of the world's greatest offerings in the domains of literature, science and religion. He ties them into his p
