The astonishing true story of an anthropologist's quest into a spiritual world of magic, mysticism and meaning.
Not since Castaneda's tutelage under the Yacqui Indian guide Don Juan has there been a spiritual autobiography quite like Spiritwalker.
Hank Wesselman's incredible story started with intense encounters that would propel him on twelve fantastic journeys across time and space - into what he believed tribal people from millennia past have called the "spirit world".
During his epic travels, Dr. Wesselman met shape-shifting entities, spirit helpers and guardians, and found himself traversing a mental, physical and spiritual landscape on a path intersecting that of a fellow traveler, a Hawai'ian kahuna mystic named Nainoa. Five thousand years into the future, Nainoa had been sent by his Chief on a journey into what used to be America, a once-powerful land of machines and magic, from which no previous voyagers had ever returned. What did Nainoa seek from Dr. Wesselman? What did the anthropologist have to learn from this exotic traveler from another time and place?
Here is a fascinating and suspenseful adventure, an exciting and important archeological discovery, and the story of how a hard-headed scientific-realist stumbled on an important piece of the puzzle of human evolution.
