Description

This is the true story of Charles Langley, an Englishman from London, who became apprentice to a powerful Navajo Indian medicine man in the remote desert of the American Southwest. His first experiences of Navajo witchcraft, divination, healing, and of visions induced by the peyote cactus, proved so remarkable, and so other-worldly, he knew others would find them hard to imagine. Encouraged by the medicine man Blue Horse, and the use of skills honed as a top British journalist, Langley started a detailed diary from which this book has been crafted.

Readers will learn of the day by day fight against witches and witchcraft. Of skin walkers, who are human shape shifters the Navajo imagine can turn themselves into animals and birds; of visions, and of peculiar feats of divination and healing, in addition to fascinating insights into the unique culture of the Navajo tribe. As Blue Horse’s apprentice, Langley finds himself inhabiting a parallel world in which much that his western upbringing and education scoffs at as unimaginable, becomes an on a regular basis reality.

Eventually, he realizes he will have to make a choice from his big city existence with its comfortable preconceptions, or accept that the terrifying world of Navajo witchcraft is real and, despite the risk, he will have to explore it further
