Publisher's Summary
Wizard of the Upper Amazon is an extraordinary document of the life among a tribe of South American Indians at the beginning of the 20th century. For many listeners, the most compelling sections of the audiobook will be the descriptions of the use of Banisteriopsis caapi, the ayahuasca of the Amazon forests. This powerful hallucinogen has long been credited with the ability to transport human beings to realms of experience where telepathy and clairvoyance are commonplace. Manual Córdova, the narrator of these adventures, is well-known as a healer in Peru.

Essential reading on Ayahuasca & Indigenous Amazonian Life
Unlike the takes of Carlos Castenada the story of Manuel Cordova in Wizard Of The Upper Amazon rings with authenticity from end to end. The level of detail indicates that there is an enormous reservoir of real memory that could be drawn on at any moment for even more detail at any time.
Steve Beyer’s book Signing To The Plants is an encyclopedia of knowledge describing the Mestizo (mixed blood Spanish speaking) plant medicine tradition that has emerged over the past century.
Where singing to the plants is the encyclopedia, wizard of the Upper Amazon is a first hand telling of one key instance of indigenous plant medicine tradition being passed to the river and town dwelling mestizos in the Amazon. In a sense it shares an account of the birth of mestizo plant spirit medicine practice.
For those interested in Rewilding and deep nature connection such as those taught by Jon Young and Tom Brown Jr, this book has much to share about Amazonian hunting and tribal practices.
