Description: "THE POLLEN PATH". 1987, by David Snellgrove. Kiva Publishing, Inc. Paperback, former library book, 210 pages. This book is a reissue of a publication from 1956 by Margaret S. Link, who attended pueblo ceremonies after the untimely death of her son in 1928 and strove to understand Navajo cosmology, a difficult feat for any person who has grown up with a modern worldview. This edition includes a new biography of Mrs Link written by her son and his wife. From back cover: " 'The pollen path is the way between gods and men, and it expresses the harmony that should exist between them', writes Margaret Schevill Link. She illustrates this harmony through twelve simple and lucid Najao stories translated directly from Navajo medicine men.". (back cover) These are not simply stories (although the term "myth" is used, I'd compare it to "Bible myths", etc), but explanations of how and why the Navajo world exists and works as it does. Should be of interest to any person trying to understand Navajo and southwestern POV. If you're interested in religion and philosophy please have a look at the other books listed including several translations of the Quran or Qur'an, Muslim thought, Islamic theory and religion, Buddhism, and Buddhist philosophy, Yoga, Karate, Kuk Sool, Hwarang Do and Hapkido, Tai Chi, Taiji, Kung fu and other and martial arts if you're interested, please have a look.
