BRADFORD KEENEY chronicles his adventures in Profiles of Healing—a handsome set of books that explores the work and beliefs of traditional healers in their own words. Each volume is illustrated with eye-popping photographs and includes a CD of ceremonial music. Focusing on individuals such as Credo Mutwa of South Africa’s Zulu people and Ikuko Osumi, Sensei of Japan, as well as shamanic traditions like those of the Guarani people of the Amazon and the Shaker Methodist churches of the Caribbean, the books open up new worlds of spiritual and cultural thought.
Nine books of the 12-volume series are out from Ringing Rocks Press, with new titles in the works on spiritual healers in Bali, African American churches, and psychotherapist Milton Erickson. Keeney’s now at work investigating healing traditions of Mexico, Europe, Argentina, and Australia’s Aborigines.
Finely produced but not prohibitively expensive ($40 hardcover in a slipcase, and under $20 in paper), they can be found in bookstores or from Independent Publishers Group: 800/888-7471 or frontdesk@ipgbook.com; or see www.ringingrocks.org.
