DESCRIPTION

A Ritual Drama of the American Indians
The Medicine Rite is performed by medicine men upon the initiation of a member to their cult. Presenting a transcription of the Medicine Rite, the most sacred ritual of the Winnebago Indians, this work captures a poetic source of profound importance to the understanding of mystical experience.
In this transcription of the Medicine Rite, the most sacred ritual of the Winnebago Indians, anthropologist Paul Radin captured a poetic source of profound importance to the understanding of mystical experience. Performed by medicine men upon the initiation of a member to their cult, this secret rite recapitulated the mythic origins and heroes of the Winnebago while integrating those present with the ancestral forces.
