Wizard of the Four Winds: A Shaman's Story

This book is a modern story of the centuries-old practice of curanderismo, or folk healing, and a fascinating portrait of a unique individual, Eduardo Calderon Palomino. Eduardo is a literate and worldly man, a sculptor and a teacher, a practicing Catholic -and a Peruvian shaman. More than a biography, this is an insightful analysis of a contemporary folk healer's view of the world, his curing art, his struggles as a man, and his personal search for meaning. "Wizard of the Four Winds" blends personal experiences and objective analysis to provide a rare glimpse into the life and world view of a modern shaman. It is an uncommon work of anthropological, religious, and psychological significance.
