Description
Steve Edwards is a semi-retired, former IT and Telecommunications technician who was drawn to the Ayahuasca path by serious health challenges after Western medicine had failed to provide answers. Steve's Ayahuasca journey began in Peru in August 2021 at 57 years of age. He sold his house to fund an epic, desperate search for alternative, medicinal relief from the many physical and psychological ailments that beset him. This book describes Steve's journey over a total of 108 ayahuasca ceremonies over 4 years that introduced him to the reality of spiritual dimensions that he never imagined could exist, particularly the dark realms of witchcraft and the demonic. Steve also explains how these negative forces are ultimately balanced and opposed by the beauty of the "Unconditional Love" innate to the Yin side of Mama Ayahuasca and countless other Nature spirits. It is harrowing in places, due to the descriptions of various degrees and effects of demonic possession and witch hexes that were suffered by Steve, as well as other Ayahuasca clients Steve met on this remarkable and fascinating journey. Steve documents much of the dark side reality of shamanism and witchcraft, as practiced in the Amazon regions, so serves as a necessary warning to those unwary and naïve, who do not appreciate or understand the possible risks involved with spiritual plant medicine practices due to the possible, nefarious behaviour of corrupt and greedy shamans or retreats.
This memoir continues from Steve's first short book "Ayahuasca; From Demonic Possession to Unconditional Love" that covered Steve's first 3 Ayahuasca ceremonies.
