Customer Reviews

exploitation???

Ed McGaa, writing about what he is called to write about, has the blessed good fortune to be published. The ceremonies he writes about have meaning to him and he wishes to share their essence with the readers. There is nothing about exploitation in this. What this book does is send a message of hope that people will do SOMETHING in themselves to correct their insane ways and reconnect with the living Spirit that flows through Nature. Small minds need opening. Small hearts need opening. Envy is a disease of the soul. 1000 blessings to Ed McGaa, whoever he is, for his beautiful efforts. Small stones dropped in the water make ever-expanding rings. It is for readers to reflect on the meaning of what is written. Noone has to go out and perform rituals that are not theirs. There is something universal in all people's rituals, however. The wise see it and can work with it. The lazy idiots sit back and sling mud. When has it ever been otherwise? Bright Blessings.

Stories of people taking the natural way

This book is a collection of stories of people taking the natural way instead of the closed minded dogma of most religion.In this book Mr. McGaa releases more of his distaste for "christianity" I suffered too much at the hands of "christians" as well.If you are interested in taking the natural way; this book offers some guideposts to follow.If your mind and heart are closed; as demonstrated by the reviewer from San Francisco below; go back to you dogmatic religion where you are forced to give your power away to the people in power. I wish you peace. Minds and hearts are like parachutes. They only work when they are open.Questions or comments E-Mail me. Two BearsWah doh Ogedoda

Natural Prayer/Natural Way

This books title speaks for itself. How do we Walk this Natural Way?? Listen to the Heart, it speaks the Truth, then gives us the courage to Walk this Natural Way. Many have gone before and many will come after, the time is now for we who are here!! Mitakuye Oyasin!! We are all related!! We are related to all things!!

A really profound eye-opener about spirituality.

This book discloses alot about Native American spirituality. Although I am a Christian, it has really enhanced my beliefs in the Creator & changed my views about people, animals & nature itself. After all Mitakuye Oyasin means "We are all related."

ABOUT REAL AMERICANS ... 57 WONDERFUL VARIETIES

WALKING THE "RED ROAD" OF SPIRITUALITY IS NOT ABOUT BEING AN INDIAN "WANNABEE". Ed McGaw does a great job showing the reality of people, I know some personally, who have taken their steps toward what is "real" in their lives. Knowing and hearing Ed personally reminds me how he is the first to say "don't follow me or turn me into some sort of guru". The Natural Way is about us and the creator and creation. About every day, his words from this book and "Mother Earth Spirituality" resound in my head. This book is about us ordinary stiffs who ducked the clutter that American society clamors at us, and pray to the four directions daily, or stop to chat with a winged one who blesses are day. What did Jesus say? "Unless one becomes as a child .......". Wise is Wise.
