About this ebook
"A dear stream of practical knowledge with the mind change we need to save the life of our Mother Earth--and ourselves . . . This is a book for every person who loves this planet. Eagle Man shows us the joyful path home to our universal Mother."
?ynthia Bend, Water Spirit Woman, co-author of Birth of a Modem Shaman
"A rich panorama of our native heritage which allows the seeker access to the heart of the Path of Beauty. Ed McGaa has walked this path so that all people may live in harmony."
Samie Sams, Hancoka Olowanpi, author of Midnight Song: Quest for the Vanished Ones
"Ed McGaa is one of the first persons who can write about 0glala religion in the first person because he has lived it. For years anthropologists have hoped a Native American would portray that society from the inside out. Ed McGaa has. It's about time."
William K. Powers, author of 0glala Religion
"Fascinating as well as inspiring reading. Ed McGaa makes an excellent spiritual guide and intellectual teacher . . . The information stimulates the mind, the drawings delight the eye, and the ideas soothe the spirit."
Jack Weatherford, author of Indian Givers
"Profound and insightful . . . Mother Earth Spirituality will be of great importance to those of us, both 'rainbow' and non-Indian people, who walk over land in search of a deeper spiritual life . . . For us, this book is an invaluable guide showing us how to do it."
Fred Alm Wolf, Ph.D., author of Taking the Quantum Leap

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5So deceptive and demonic, look witchcraft and “self healing” won’t help you or save you from the wrath to come. The issue is you have fallen short of the glory of God and nobody and nothing can save you except Jesus Christ who died so painfully and rose again so greatly to defeat death and sin and gift us His sovereign and holy righteousness, that we don’t deserve so we don’t pay our eternal hell wages. Seek Jesus while He can be found beloved. God be with you (the true God)
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Really an excellent collection of various traditional Sioux ceremonies and customs written without pretension and not keeping any secrets either. There are many personal anecdotal stories here that give the book a more human touch than it was just writing about the ceremonies.
