Aboriginal Men of High Degree: Initiation and Sorcery in the World's Oldest Tradition

I deal in Australian artifacts and associated material, as well as studying the culture and beliefs of Aboriginal Society within Australia. Living in Australia I can verify a lot of facts this book contains, fisrt hand. It is well written, concise and accurate from cover to cover. It is a good starting point for anyone interested in the world's oldest tribal customs. A lot of the facts are based on the dreaming of the aboriginals and oral history. When read one must remember that some 'facts' are beliefs of the peoples, such as being able to fly, restoring limbs to bodies etc. If you have a basic knowledge of Aboriginal 'knowledge' this is one of the best books on the subject. It deasl mainly with beliefs and customs, not glossy coffee table book items. Well worth the money!!
