Als junger Knabe empfing der Oglala Lakota Sioux Black Elk eine mchtige Vision, die ihn auf eine persnliche Reise fhren sollte. Eine Reise, die sein ganzes Leben hindurch andauerte. Obwohl Black Elks Vision als prophetische Botschaft die schreckliche Zukunft seines Volkes enthllte, so enthielt sie doch auch positive Aspekte, die es neu zu entdecken gilt. Frdert man sie zutage, so entdeckt man, dass die Orientierungssignale, die Black Elk empfangen hat, einen uralten Pfad weisen, der in die Bilderwelt des amerikanischen Westens eingewoben ist. Beim Studium von Black Elks Augenzeugenberichten entscheidender Ereignisse jener Zeit entdeckte die Autorin eine Reihe metaphorischer Fuabdrcke, die uns den Weg zu innerer Kraft und einem ausgewogenen Leben weisen - 125 Jahre spter. Bei der Interpretation von Black Elks Worten sttzt sich die Autorin auf die profunden Kenntnisse von Joseph Campbell, einem der weltweit fhrenden Fachleute auf dem Gebiet gesellschaftlicher Denkweisen. Dank seiner Einsicht in Symbole und Bilder konnte Campbell die metaphorischen Spuren lesen und uns eine dem 21. Jahrhundert angepasste Deutung liefern, von der man vor ihm nur hatte trumen knnen. Dieses Buch wirft eine neues Licht auf Black Elks Spuren. Und gesttzt auf Jospeh Campbells Erkenntnisse, weist es einen Pfad nach innen: zu positiven Krften, die in jedem von uns schlummern und nur darauf warten, entdeckt zu werden.
