A fascinating narrative of self-discovery, David Carson tells his story of initiation as a conjure man--a ceremonial healer--with the Choctaw medicine woman Mary Gardener. Through Mary's teachings, often conveyed in folktales of the primordial healer Yellow Tobacco Boy, and through his own, cometimes mind-bending experiences, Carson gives readers a glimpse into an alternate reality, where Western notions of physics do not apply, and health and illness express the balance between man and nature.
