Send a Voice provides valuable insights into the sacred ways of Sweat Lodge ceremonies and rituals in Native American culture, told in immensely readable form by a remarkable woman. Republished by Singing Dragon in 2012 I Send a Voice is highly recommended for anyone interested in shamanism or Native American culture.
A beautifully written, unique and deeply touching account of the author's transformative spiritual journey into the sacred ways of Native American sweat lodge ceremonies, rituals, teachings and shamanism, culminating in her initiation as a pipe-carrier. We learn much about those sacred ways as Evelyn Eaton describes her trials, tribulations and personal development with self-reflection, humour and great honesty and, whilst she allows us to accompany her on her journey, we gain much insight into the wisdom and integrity of this ancient path and its teachers. A page turner, written by a remarkable woman describing a remarkable journey.
The story is a fascinating one...
I gobbled it. I just sat right down and bolted it, seeds, rind and all.
