Abstract
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: <I>The Peyote Cult</I> (1964) by Weston La Barre, <I>The Peyote</I> <I>Religion Among the Navajo</I> (1966) by David F. Aberlie and <I>Peyote History</I> (1987) by Omer C. Stewart. - from Amzon
