Breath of the Invisible: The Way of the Pipe - Freesoul, John Redtail

Tight, unmarked; slight wear to inside corners; lightly age tanned; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; appears unread; This book traces the dramatic revival of the Plains Ceremonial Pipe as a tool of self-realization and unity. But there is much more to this story. In its fullness it is actually a broad overview of the spiritual heritage of the American Indian, incorporating chapters on The Sacred Sweat; A Hopi Indian's Healing Power; and The Odyssey of the Medicine Wheel (how to make one; how to use one, and why). Comfortably, effortlessly the author blends these aspects on Indian life into a cohesive, meaningful spiritual culture. He includes many illuminating human interest anecdotes as he brings to light the essential humane-ness of the American Indian based on a conviction that all life is sacred and interdependent; that there is nothing whatsoever that is not alive. Here then is the Native American as a faithful caretaker of the sacred things in life.
