Situates first-person accounts of spirit encounters within the context of the worldview of indigenous religion and healing. Examines five central themes: acquiring personal power, remembering one's debt of gratitude, healing as efficacious power, competing with the power of others, and localizing religious beliefs. Also explores the affinity of localized religion to the emerging ecological worldview of the universe (BIP-ADMUP).
