Call of the Forbidden Way is an enthralling adventure taking the reader through one man’s shamanic initiation … and much more. After being asked by a committee of Lakota elders to film an intertribal medicine circle, Carson Reynolds returns home where he has problems with ‘something possessing his dreams’. Rather than the routine documentary shoot he was expecting this is the beginnings of a journey that takes him from initial training with medicine man Wounded Paw, to working with a ‘mixed tradition’ shaman, Rhiannon and later, Voodoo shaman, Blind Mama. And on top of that he has to figure out how to work with a wrathful Tibetan deity who may easily destroy him, while managing to avoid getting killed in physical ‘accidents’ caused by alien ‘Visitors’ who want to take over the planet. Call of the Forbidden Way contains adventure, conspiracy and personal spiritual transformation in a tale with a diverse range of characters, cultures and traditions all working together in the contemporary world to save our Great Mother earth. An entrancing read I would highly recommend. ~ June Kent, Editor, Indie Shaman Magazine

"Call of the Forbidden Way", Robert Owings, 2016, Cosmic Egg Books ISBN 978 178535 366 6 This is a gripping tale about the initiatory path, reminiscent of Carlos Castenada and his journey from sceptical novice towards adept-hood, though in this book through various spiritual disciplines. The descriptions of spiritual trial and personal pathway are very accurate and well written and believable. It would not surprise me if the author sees this as book one of a series. I hope so because I would definitely be looking out for it! Highly recommended.

This was an incredible story. The characters following the path of the Medicine Way are complex and diverse. Each has their own practice of communion with the Universe and the entities of the Dimensions. A new take on the fight between Good and evil and Light vs. dark. Amazing insights if you care to see them, I will read everything this author writes. ~ Margaret Holmes, NetGalley

"Call of the Forbidden Way is one of the best revelations of the esoteric nature of reality there is, up there with books like Cloud Atlas and films like "The Matrix." It shows us how things really are underneath the tough skin of 3D existence, offering a glimpse of the thrilling ecstasy and frightening shadow that awaits when the mind awakens.

"Robert Owings' new book, Call of the Forbidden Way, engagingly portrays the challenges faced by ordinary people caught in the grip of cosmic forces originating in a shamanic universe just beyond the limits of 'ordinary' reality.

"A wonderful thriller from the world of shamanism and sacred plants." ~ Luis Eduardo Luna, Ph.D.
