Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Still worth having on the shelf.
First purchase from this shop. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.
Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Recommended with reservations.
Took a chance on this and glad I did. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Still worth having on the shelf.
This exceeded my expectations. Every rereading turns up something I missed. Five stars from me.
This volume serves as a vital resource for understanding Apache cosmology through the lens of hereditary wisdom. While it beautifully bridges ancestral lore with contemporary spiritual needs, it is not intended for casual readers seeking entertainment or those uninterested in Indigenous epistemologies. It may feel too specialized for those unfamiliar with oral tradition structures or skeptical of lineage-based authority. However, for dedicated students of esoteric history and Native American spirituality, it offers an authentic, unfiltered glimpse into the Snake Clan’s creation narratives. The text is respectful and direct, though its specific cultural focus limits its broad appeal to general audiences.
