Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a rare gift! Ted Williams shares with us the experience of Mystery, Spirit,and Medicine. Through his wisdom and real life stories, Ted gives us a powerful, funny, and magical perspective. Having had the great blessing to have known Ted, this book is a special treasure - reading it I can hear his voice honoring all creation as he recites prayers, his 'tricky' laugh as he tells amazing stories, his choking on tears as he recites his sweet 'love Ted' poems.

Celebrated author Ted Williams' account of his lifelong engagement with traditional wisdom, spiritual knowledge, and his search for higher consciousness among the Six Nations of Iroquois. Big Medicine from Six Nations is a series of reminiscences and essays by the lateTed Williams on the themes of "medicine" (physical/spiritual/psychic healing). Williams intertwines the lore and lifeways of his Tuscarora upbringing, illustrating the dynamic encounter of tradition and innovation at the heart of contemporary Haudenosaunee culture. At the same time, he writes with an irreverence, irony, and good humor unmistakably his own. Colored by his wry wit, Big Medicine from Six Nations amply fulfills the promise of its title. It offers a fascinating view not only of herbal medicine but also of prayers, omens, feasts, vision quests, sweat lodges, spirits, and the sacred teachings of the Great Law of the Great Peace. But readers will find that there is more to this book about the "spiritual mechanics" of humankind writ large.
