Ocean Spaces, Island Worlds: An Extraordinary Adventure of Discovery and Transformation - Christopher Farley - Bog

Travel back in time to precontact Havai'i, long before the word 'Aloha' was re-shaped by western tongues and missionary minds, when the magic of ceremony and spirit medicine freely flowed through the daily lives of the Hawaiian people. Matani, an unhappy taro farmer with unusual abilities, finds himself on two life-changing adventures set in motion by his estranged ancestral spirits. The first is an ocean voyage aboard a double-hulled canoe with an elite group of fearsome Hawaiian warriors. As a stowaway, Matani encounters dolphins, whales, and learns the secrets of celestial navigation while crossing the treacherous channel to O'ahu, only to stumble upon a deadly secret hidden deep within the island's interior. The second journey follows Matani across a mysterious tropical island where he experiences visionary encounters with wise spirit guides in hidden worlds, learning of a secreted lineage that he shares with a race so archaic, they've become myth. Along the way, Matani learns to heal his injured soul using ancient spirit medicine, unwittingly preparing himself for a terrifying confrontation with unearthly forces that threaten the very consciousness of humanity.
