Book – PDF Joseph Epes Brown - Animals of the Soul [Scan & OCR]

[Rowena]

From the Back Cover:

Joseph Epes Brown,the man whom the great Sioux shaman Black Elk chose to be the recipient of his people’s sacred rites and teachings, gives us here what he considers his most important work.

Following the death of Black Elk in 1950, Dr Brown wrote his renowned international bestseller, The Sacred Pipe. Through his close relationship with Black Elk’s family and his meetings with other eminent North American leaders of that era, Dr Brown was able to gather and then pass on the teachings which are the spiritual legacy of the Sioux people and which have since become one ofthe basic ‘natural resources’ for the emerging deep ecology movement.

The central theme of Animals of the Soul is the appraisal and celebration of the relationships between the native peoples and the animals of their environment. The Oglala believe that all animals have their own symbolic and mythical meanings which relate closely to aspects of our own spiritual world. These sacred animals can guide us in how to care for each other and for our endangered planet.
