“Bradford Keeney has made an unusual contribution to the cross-cultural study of shamanism . . . He is among the few academically trained people who have engaged in the serious acceptance of, and participation in, indigenous shamanic practices, as he has done with the Bushmen of southern Africa.”

MICHAEL HARNER,
founder of the foundation for
Shamanic Studies and author of
The Way of the Shaman

“After many astounding experiences, the Bushman accepted Keeney as a “doctor,” a n/om-kxao, one who is believed to possess and control a supernatural essence or power that can be harnessed to heal people with physical and social ills”

“During the years and numerous expeditions with Bradford Keeney to the Bushmen of southern Africa, I observed an odyssey into a fascinating spiritual world. They allowed him to delve deeper and deeper until he became an accepted holder of their most important truths. I observed him being taught and trained by them to such a level over the years that even long-distance communication by way of dreams became a natural reality for him. During my life as a scientist I have never met a person like Brad who would pursue the objectives of his study with such dedication and tenacity to get to the core of the truth. He is a unique pioneer capable of exploring and mapping the previously unknown spaces in the spiritual universe of the Bushmen.
