B: Herbarium of a Modern Shaman
Edgar Cayce (1887, Hopkinsville KY - 1945, Virginia Beach, VA), although thoroughly imbued with the standard American Protestantism of his upbringing, had by nature strong shamanic talents. He would put himself into trance states and go on psychic journeys, among other things. But his most thoroughly shamanic characteristic was his ability to diagnose, and correctly prescribe effective cures for, a vast array of ailments in countless people whom he had never met and of whom he needed to be given only the name and address. Listed here are a number of his most common preventive and curative recommendations.
