When composer and Bard College music professor, Margaret De Wys,
learned she had breast cancer, the diagnosis shattered her
comfortable life. Seized by fear, crushed by existential
loneliness, she couldn't respond when her loved ones reached out to
her. To everyone's concern, the illness propelled her away from her
family and deep into the Amazon to work with Carlos, a charismatic
Shuar shaman and master of medicina milenaria, an ancient mystical
tradition with a highly sophisticated and precise technology of
healing. In BLACK SMOKE, De Wys writes of her amazing encounter
with Carlos as he guided her into a world of potent visionary
plants, harrowing initiations, ritual purification and miraculous
healings, including the complete disappearance of her cancer. It
was, as Carlos called it, "the path of the warrior." Sharing a
journey not only through cancer, but, also, through
self-transformation, De Wys provides an intimate inside look at the
shamanic ceremonies of ayahuasca and the ways this spiritual
medicine can heal the emotional origins of disease now plaguing our
modern technological culture. Capturing her physical, emotional and
"holy voyage" through a world that differs vastly from our own, she
offers a revealing chronicle of spiritual insight and a trenchant
exploration of the limits of idealism. She not only provides a
probing look at how our society can learn and benefit from
indigenous wisdom, but, also, weaves a cautionary tale about how
potentially dangerous it is-on both sides-to try to cross those
frontiers. * Explains in vivid detail De Wys's experience of being
healed from cancer through visionary ayahuasca rituals in Ecuador *
Describes her apprenticeship and relationship with the shaman who
cured her * Explores the ways this spiritual medicine can heal the
emotional origins of disease now plaguing our modern technological
culture
