THE ASTONISHING TRUE STORY OF AN ANTHROPOLOGIST'S QUEST INTO A WORLD OF MAGIC, MYSTICISM, AND MEANING Not since Carlos Castaneda's tutelage under the Yaqui Indian guide Don Juan has there been a spiritual autobiography quite like Spiritwalker. Hank Wesselman's incredible true story begins with a series of vivid dreams he had while living on the flank of an active volcano in Hawaii. Eventually Dr. Wesselman became convinced that what he'd experienced were not merely dreams but a vision encounter with what shamans have long called the "spirit world." In this world he met a fellow traveler, a Hawaiian kahuna mystic named Nainoa. What did Nainoa seek from Dr. Wesselman? What did the anthropologist have to learn from this exotic traveler from another time and place? Maintaining his scientific objectivity, Dr. Wesselman embarked on a mystical journey beyond the boundaries of ordinary consciousness, The result is a fascinating adventure, an exciting discovery, and the story of how a hardheaded scientific realist may have stumbled on an important piece in the puzzle of human evolution, A FASCINATING FUTURISTIC STORY." -- San Francisco Chronicle DR. WESSELMAN HAS BEGUN TO PENETRATE THE SHAMANIC REALMS OF NONORDINARY REALITY AND REVELATION. HIS DRAMATIC ACCOUNTS ARE WELL WITHIN THE RANGE OF EXPERIENCES REGULARLY ACHIEVED BY CONTEMPORARY STUDENTS OF SHAMANISM AND SHAMANIC JOURNEYING." -- Michael Harner, author of The Way of the Shaman
