"ROLLING THUNDER is...about history, culture, the earth, sky, trees, sacred herbs, vibrations, spirits, contemporary politics- and it is about these things passionately. I enjoyed reading it even more than I have enjoyed reading Carlos Castaneda, because it has real roots in a real world I can feel close to and understand." New York Times Book Review Rolling Thunder is an American Indian medicine man- spiritual healer, philosopher, and acknowledged spokesman for the Cherokee and Shoshone tribes. As a medicine man, or shaman, he is guardian of a wealth of secret and mysterious knowledge that has been passed down through countless Indian generations. This knowledge includes the power to cure diseases and heal wounds, to find and use medicinal herbs, to make rain, to perform exorcisms, to transport objects through the air, to communicate with other medicine men unaided by technology. These awe-inspiring powers come out of the medicine man's unique and special relationship with nature, with what can only be called a "spirit of the earth."
