The Sacred Heart of Hunting - By James A Swan

This richly illustrated account of the eternal heritage of hunting as a heroic journey, ala Joseph Campbell, is told as a metaphor of a group of hunters who are forced into a cave by a sudden snowstorm. As a fire is kindled, the walls of the cave come to life with petroglyphs and pictographs that account each stage of the hunter’s journey. From the shadows, a transpersonal convocation steps forward to share stories to each stage of the hunt, the feelings that occur and religious and mythic guidance to elevate those feelings. Some special elements include: the Navajo Deerhuntingway; the tradition of Saint Hubert, the patron saint of hunting; Christian, Muslim and shamanic hunting ethics; the “Last Bite” honoring of slain game; hunting gods and goddesses; prayers, old and new, and stories from many modern hunters lead the reader to see how ethical hunting leads hunters to become ardent conservationists..
