“Publication of these outstanding paintings of ayahuasca visions experienced by a native medicine man, Pablo Amaringo, and interpreted by the distinguished anthropologist Luis Eduardo Luna permits us to understand the unworldly psychic effects of the ‘vine of the soul.’”—Professor Richard Schultes, Director, Botanical Museum of Harvard University
“Pablo Amaringo and Luis Eduardo Luna are to be congratulated for their collaboration. It has yielded a book that is both beautiful and sure to be an enduring contribution to the ethnography and art history of shamanism. The visions and vanishing lifestyles of the ayahuasqueros of Amazonas are presented with wonderful integrity and sensitivity.”—Terence McKenna, author of The Invisible Landscape (with Dennis McKenna) and True Hallucinations
“In these times of vast ecological destruction in the Amazon, the most topical achievement of this book [is] the painful reminder that plants in their botanical, pharmaceutical, and spiritual existence may have an immensely more important message for mankind than we ever imagined.”—Angelika Gebhart-Sayer, Professor of Ethnology, University of Marburg
“This is a fascinating and authoritative work about a South American native shaman and his conceptual world.”—Åke Hultkrantz, Professor Emeritus of Comparative Religion, Stockholm University
