In this deeply spiritual memoir, shamanic healer Ross Heaven recounts his wondrous and moving experiences as apprentice to Adam Dilwyn Vaughan, a sin eater. He witnessed Adam removing negative energies from a patient, learned how to read omens in nature, and participated in sin-eating rituals. During their time together, Adam shared his wisdom on what the soul is, how we might know its true intentions, and how sin can shape and corrupt it. He showed how it can be restored through spiritual practice and the power of confession, plants, rituals and omens. Interlacing Adam's story with wonderful Welsh legends, this sensitive and powerfully evocative book explains these mysterious Celtic shamanic practices and considers their continuing relevance to our human quest to discover - and live - our own soul's purpose.
