Vision Quest

"Vision quest" remains one of the primary aspects of aboriginal, North American spirituality. It involves retiring alone to a remote location in the natural world in search of a life-guiding vision or a gift of supernatural power ("medicine") for healing or some other action among one's peoples. An individual goes without food or sleep for three or four days seeking after a vision. In an excellent article in Fortean Times reseacher, Paul Deveroux, explains in detail the tradition of vision quest--something that we have explored as part of our own work in Wisdom Tradition.
