"Very
little in David Cumes' background and professional life could
predict the advent of such a profound and otherworldly experience.
He has become the conduit through which invaluable healing powers
and spiritual wisdom are now coming through to Western world
culture from the African continent. This shows the interconnectedness
of life balancing modern and indigenous, people and nature, the physical
and the spiritual. His testimony turns the so-called African "superstition"
into a reality as his devotion and trust allowed him to surrender
to the uncertain initiatory process of sangoma. Everyone should read
Africa In My Bones with respect and reverence."
Malidoma Somé, author of
Healing Wisdom of Africa & Of Water and Spirit
"This is a thought provoking book written by someone who walks
along two roads, who is on the one hand a surgeon of note and on the
other a sangoma. The world needs such people who see Africa
through two eyes, the African eye and the Western eye."
