Reviews
"The author does an excellent job of catching the rhythms of oral storytelling and choosing unfamiliar stories with uncommon characters." ---The Bloomsbubry Review, ""The author does an excellent job of catching the rhythms of oral storytelling and choosing unfamiliar stories with uncommon characters."" ---The Bloomsbubry Review, "Beck's volume of myths and magic is good reading and provides a fascinating window on the culture of the Tlingits and Haidas" ---Fairbanks Daily News-Miner
Synopsis
Shaman and Kushtaka, both struck terror in the hearts of the Tlingit and Haida, for both possessed frightening supernatural powers. Among the Natives of the Pacific Northwest Coast, the shaman was honored as a person who could heal the body and spirit as well as see into the future. In his struggles to protect his people, he fought the kushtaka---an evil spirit-being who was half human and half land hotter---for the souls of dying persons. Theirs was a battle between the forces of good and evil, and today it remains a cornerstone in Tlingit and Haida mythology. Mary Giraudo Beck provides a powerful mix of history, legend, and adventure to dramatize the values and traditions of Tlingit and Haida societies. The heroic and wondrous incidents in these stories transcend time and culture and, as tales of myth and magic, provide compelling reading for young and old alike., Shaman and Kushtaka, both struck terror in the hearts of the Tlingit and Haida, for both possessed frightening supernatural powers.

- l***o (516)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufOne of my favorite stories is of How Peter Hurkos became psychic. I ordered the book from VK Rares and Classics. His packaging of the book was superior to most book sellers. He bubble-wrapped the book so that it was well protected and shipped it in a tight fitting mailing sleeve. The book arrived safely, and i am happy with it and VK Rares and Classics's service. I was also jappy with his pricing. The book was as described.
