The medicine men of the North American Indian Navajo tribe are among the last people on earth to retain ancient and powerful traditional rites, and rituals surrounding the sacred peyote cactus. Shaman, shamanism, or shamanistic, are not words the Navajo would recognize. But that is how the rest of the world would explain the extraordinary powers of the Navajo hataali: the word means singer, or chanter--one who makes enchantments. Among these powers are the ability to see into the past and future, to heal the sick, to summon spirit guides, to fight and destroy the evils of witches and witchcraft, and to conduct sacred peyote medicine ceremonies in which life-changing visions are encountered.
