"In Search of the Kushtaka" Coming March 2014
What are the Kushtaka?
There are incredible stories of the sinister Kushtaka or "land ojter man" as it's known by the Tlingit People of Southeastern Alaska. Whether these stories are the stuff of legend and myth remains to be seen. However a legend that endures over time, endures for a reason, leaving us with the question. Is the legend and myth of the Kushtaka based on something that really exists? Is it rooted in actual events of the byproduct of a vivid imagination of a people unable to explain the unexplainable?
The purpose of this book is to explore this amazing mystery, to see if we can unlock the door to the Kushtaka and discover the truth. Joseph Campbell said myths are clues to the spiritual potentialities of human life, that a myth helps you put your mind in touch with the experience of being alive. In this case, in order to experience being alive, we might have to experience being scared to death.
The Kushtaka are mystical shape shifting creatures with supernatural powers. They are masters at waging psychological warefare with the ability to twist time and space creating anomalies that defy the laws of physics. It is said they possess telepathic abilities. Encounters have told of the unsuspecting victim having their worst nightmares brought to life, as if the Kushtaks were able to draw on the fears on ther intended targets.
"In Search of the Kushtaka" promises to be an exciting read, coming in March 2014.
