journeys•

the
symbology

use

like
peyote

tobacco
has
long
played
a
significant
role
in
the
spiritual
practices
and
traditions
of
Native
Americans.
While
the

practices
are
well

sacred
rituals,
and
spirit
journeying
by
shamans
of
the
Mississippian
mound
cultures,
P.
D.
Newman
explores
in
depth
the
Native
American
death
journey
known
as
the
"Trail
of
Ghosts"
or
"Path
of
Souls."
He
demonstrates
how
practices
such
as
fasting
and
trancework
when
used
with
psychedelic
plants
like
jimsonweed,
black
nightshade,
morning
glory,
and
amanita
and
psilocybin
mushrooms
could
evoke
the
liminal
state
between
life
and
death
in
initiatory
rites
and
spirit
journeys
for
shamans
and
chiefs.
He
explores
the
earthwork
and
platform
mounds
built
by
Indigenous
cultures
of
the
Mississippi
Valley,
showing
how
they
quite
likely
served
as
early
models
for
the
Path
of
Souls.
He
also
explores
similarities
between
the
Ghost
Trail
afterlife
journey
and
the
well-known
Egyptian
and
Tibetan
Books
of
the Dead.
