engagement with traditional wisdom, spiritual knowledge, and his search for
higher consciousness among the Six Nations of Iroquois.

Big Medicine from Six Nations is a series of reminiscences and essays by
the late
Ted Williams on the themes of "medicine" (physical/spiritual/psychic
healing). Williams intertwines the lore and lifeways of his Tuscarora
upbringing, illustrating the dynamic encounter of tradition and innovation
at the heart of contemporary Haudenosaunee culture. At the same time, he
writes with an irreverence, irony, and good humor unmistakably his own.
Colored by his wry wit, Big Medicine from Six Nations amply fulfills the
promise of its title. It offers a fascinating view not only of herbal
medicine but also of prayers, omens, feasts, vision quests, sweat lodges,
spirits, and the sacred teachings of the Great Law of the Great Peace. But
readers will find that there is more to this book about the "spiritual
mechanics" of humankind writ large.Direct download links available for PRETITLE Big Medicine from Six Nations POSTTITLE

Big Medicine from Six Nations PDF

This is a rare gift! Ted Williams shares with us the experience of Mystery, Spirit,and Medicine. Through his wisdom and real life stories, Ted gives us a powerful, funny, and magical perspective. Having had the great blessing to have known Ted, this book is a special treasure - reading it I can hear his voice honoring all creation as he recites prayers, his 'tricky' laugh as he tells amazing stories, his choking on tears as he recites his sweet 'love Ted' poems.

Worth reading again and again. A gentle wise man who knew the medicine river and followed the voice of the old ones. He sits now at the council fire of his ancestors but left behind this wonderful guidebook.
