Synopsis
African sharamanism teaches that nature is magical, and magic is
natural. After being rescued from a life-threatening encounter with
lions in the Timbavati game region by a sangoma known as the 'Lion
Queen', the author embarks on a journey into the mysteries of the
most sacred animal on the African continent: the legendary White
Lion. It is a mystical journey into the knowledge and ceremonies of
old Africa, in which humans and lions are able to cross the species
barrier - in accordance with the most guarded secrets on Ancient
Egypt and humankind's greatest riddle, the sphinx. It is also a
real living journey. Scientists in our day have established that
humankind's most significant evolutionary leap occurred as a result
of our ancestors' interaction with great cats. The White Lion is a
genetic rarity of Panthera leo, and occurred in one region only on
earth: Timbavati. Today White Lions form the centre of the
notorious 'canned' trophy hunting industry - hand-reared captive
lions, shot in enclosures for gross money. By contrast, shamans
believe that killing a lion-sun God is the ultimate sacrilege. How
the human species treats such precious symbols of God in nature may
determine how nature treats the human species.
