Crossing Into Medicine Country, A Journey in Native American Healing is the story of David Carson’s initiation as a conjure man—a ceremonial healer—with the Choctaw medicine woman Mary Gardener. For three years, he studied power plants and medicine animals, how to read the layers of energy surrounding human beings, and how to use sacred tobacco in ritual, curing, and divination. Through Mary’s teachings, often conveyed by the folk tales of the healer, Yellow Tobacco Boy, and through his own, often alternative experiences, Carson gives us a glimpse into a different reality, one in which health and illness express the balance between man and nature, and Western notions of physics do not always apply. A fascinating personal narrative, Crossing is a work rich in spirit and Native American folklore. We call on Deer energy so that we can better understand and share universal love and so that the gentleness within ourselves can touch with the gentleness within others. Let us be loving, kind, and peaceful.
