Overview:
The epic story of a misfit who is chosen to become a Shaman by Oula Baba (a Hyena Shaman) to protect ancient sacred groves revered by native people of the region against the power of organised religious powers and their penchant for clearing forests and building places of worship with no respect for ancient beliefs and customs. All nature connives with magical creatures, women who have the power to use sacred songs and dance and the elements to resist the advancing armies of change. Inspired by the author’s close friendship and shared wisdom of real life shamans, the story is a moving account of the power of traditional wisdom to withstand the artificiality of contrived beliefs and practices.
