When Spirits Touch the Red Path: a Red Path Novel

When the times that are on you are filled with confusion and uncertainty, you will have need of great truths. When the times that are on you no longer show you the path to travel as clearly as you could once see it, you need the light of the spirit to guide you. When you can no longer find the friend you once knew within you and you feel the loneliness that comes to you each night, then you need to find the path you were meant to travel. When you do this, those things will be put back into balance for you.-These are the sayings of our people.Grandfather, a Spirit Caller of the Isletta Pueblo, used to teach much of the wisdom of our people to Cheeway and me. Not all of it can be contained in this book, but this book is filled with a very important page of our people's history. "As you come to understand more that is within your life path, you will come to see yourself more clearly for who and what you are in truth."-Patrick "Speaking Wind" Quirk

Patrick "Speaking Wind" Quirk, a Native American author, lecturer, and publisher, was raised by Grandfather, Two Bears, and White Eagle of the Pueblo People. He knew them as Spirit Callers, but in today's terms we would call them "SHAMAN". Grandfather and Two Bears watched over him, and his brothers Cheeway and Nahe, in the mountains of northern New Mexico for almost twenty years of their early life. Here they were educated in the ways of the Spirit. Speaking Wind brought Red Path ways to any who were ready to listen. But among all of the teachings, perhaps the greatest lesson to learn is that each of us must walk his or her own path. It is this one lesson that tells us to search within ourselves for the answers we seek.
