Dangit I haven't been getting forum post updates! (problem on my end.)
And my luck is my own business!

Also, don't squeeze the shaman.
When I was a kid I read this book that I have in my head as The Way of the Shaman that tried to walk me through a spirit walk. Kinda like that thing Dr. Strange can do. Don't know why I gave up after the first attempts other than I didn't have a very good self made drumbeat recording (made with spatula rhythmically smacking a bowl as was suggested in the book if you didn't have a drum) and my tech kinda sucked. My tape recorder sucked down those D cells. I was a little worried I'd get there and my batteries would die and I wouldn't get back.
There's lots of really great native American literature as I remember. I was into that and mythology and comics for reading and I read a lot sitting behind a register as a kid. Pretty great stories if you get the right books. I never got as good mythology books as my dad uncharacteristically got from a door to door salesman along with an encyclopedia and some bookshelves.
