Bobby Lake-Thom

An awesome guide for anyone interested in Native American shamanism and connection with the natural world.

Bobby Lake-Thom, a Native American healer, writes about many Indigenous healings, symbols, interpretations, stories, dreams, animals, insects, and ceremonies that have been passed down by generations and generations. He creates a powerful way to preserve heritage by showing the world around us is filled with signs that can help us heal and gain awareness.

This book has many interesting aspects that serve as an enlightening resource that can be used towards intuition and self-knowledge.

Great source for additional reading. This book can be used as a book club, as sources for text analysis, pictures, group readings, or idea generators for projects.

A good general overview of diverse Native American understandings of signs, symbols, and omens, including stories of the earth, creation, and the relationship of indigenous peoples to the animals and nature. It is very difficult to generalize Native American beliefs as they vary, sometimes considerably, from tribe to tribe, but Lake-Thom does a good job of giving a general overview and then adding specific understandings from a variety of traditions.
