This fascinating study is a narrative account of the author's personal search for a better understanding of the Peyote religion. It is a phenomenological presentation which guides the reader through the complex ritual of the Peyote ceremony as seen through the eyes of its congregation. Moreover, it presents the reader with the author's unique experience in using the sacred Peyote cactus in ritual context. This work is a major contribution to scholarly studies on the Peyote religion, specifically: The Peyote Cult (1964) by Weston La Barre, The Peyote Religion Among the Navajo (1966) by David F. Aberlie and Peyote History (1987) by Omer C. Stewart.

Contents: This book adds further indepth knowledge to the humanitarian understanding of a nonwestern religion. Not only does it compliment the works of Carlos Castaneda and Michael Harner (The Way of a Shaman), but it fills in overlooked ritual details of personal and communal experiences, especially as presented by the author and his teachers. This book is not only focused to the interest of the academic world but also to members of the general public who are interested in other peoples worldviews.
