“John Lockley is a white man that can dance! And he plays the skin drum like he was born to it. This is an extraordinary tale of a middle-class South African who had the dreaded African ‘calling sickness.’ To heal, he went through years of rigorous traditional African spiritual training and ritual sacrifice. With great eloquence and sensitivity, John relates his wild journey, which takes him from his life as a Zen student in the East to his mystical studies in Ireland to eventually becoming an African sangoma. He combines his life’s work of spirit hunting in the brave and profound teachings he calls The Way of the Leopard.”
