Vine Deloria, Jr., author, God is Red and Red Earth, White Lies "Noel...presents an innovative and startling path that will enable Western seekers to become sorcerers." -- Values & Visions "Noel provides a model for renewed shamanic seeking. Through dreams and imaginings can come the spirituality of imaginal healing, and the loss of imagination equates to the loss of the soul. He draws from two decades of work with shamanic imagining, relating in anecdotal fashion psychological assumptions of renewed shamanic healing."
