PUEBLO SPIRITS is a true story (in graphic novel form) about spirit encounters and Native American religion in the Southwest. It is based on the life of the internationally known anthropologist Dr. Felicitas D. Goodman. Dr. Goodman is famous for her research on altered states of consciousness, and her discoveries of body postures that help people achieve trance experiences of an alternate reality. PUEBLO SPIRITS tells the story of Dr. Goodman’s quest for contact with ancient Pueblo Indian spirits in New Mexico and how that quest nearly cost her life. The author is Dr. Goodman’s daughter and this version was authorized by Dr. Goodman before her death. Watch the Video Buffalo Wisdom Susan Josephson’s talk on the Buffalo Wisdom explains how anthropologist Dr. Goodman came to think of herself as a buffalo spirit and what it meant for her to be a buffalo spirit. It tells the Lakota myth of White Buffalo Calf Woman and explains in what sense the ritual trance postures that Dr. Goodman discovered were seeds of buffalo wisdom; ancient ways of accessing the spirit world for people to use in this new age foretold by the Lakota myth.
