Africa in My Bones
A surgeon's odyssey into the spirit
world of African healing
"This is a thought-provoking book
written by someone who walks along two roads, who is on
the one hand a surgeon of note and on the other a sangoma.
The world needs such people who see Africa through two
eyes, the African eye and the Western eye."
Vusamazulu Creda Mutwa: Zulu High
Sanusi
"This (book) shows the interconnectedness
of life, balancing modern and indigenous, people and nature,
the physical and the spiritual. His testimony turns the
so-called African 'superstition' into reality as his devotion
and trust allowed him to surrender to the uncertain initiatory
process of sangoma. Everyone should read Africa in
My Bones with respect and reverence."
Malidoma Patrice Somé, PhD, West
African diviner of the Dagara people of Burkino Faso,
author of Of Water and the Spirit, The Healing Wisdom
of Africa

Messages From The Ancestors:
Wisdom For The Way
As received and compiled by Maryellen Kelley
& David Cumes, M.D.*
The teachings in this little book embrace
love, compassion, joy and gratitude. They express the
oneness - though not the sameness of us all. They celebrate
diversity and heal divisiveness. They discuss spiritual
principles that include the power of love, the nature
of free will, the significance of surrender, the play
of light and dark and the dynamics of joy. They also offer
insights as to who we are, encouragement for aspiring
and help with becoming. The messages give assurances as
well as guidance.
*The real authors of this book are the
ancestors. Above all, the text celebrates the wisdom available
to us from the other side of the veil between worlds,
and how we as sentient beings can benefit from spirit
guides or ancestors.
