“Margaret De Wys's Ecstatic Healing is a holy voyage--a remarkable testament of one courageous woman forced by her own sickness to discover the mysterious world of shamanic and spiritual healing. Her's is a journey of surrendering, a journey to faith, and a journey toward accepting herself as a healer. As in her first book "Black Smoke" Margaret writes with utter honesty, which helps us as we join her on her personal journey and question our own life journey as human beings and as healers.”

“And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey, a journey of one inch, very arduous and humbling and joyful, by which we arrive at the ground at our own feet, and learn to be at home.”

“We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.”

“De Wys' powerfully written, hard-nosed initiate's tale whisks readers into the deep wild of one of the most mysterious, miraculous, and misunderstood healing methods on our planet – shamanic mediumship. Daring and hilarious, tragic and miraculous, "Ecstatic Healing" is a must read for those who like to boldly go where few mystics have gone before."Talat Jonathan Phillips, author of "The Electric Jesus: The Healing Journey of a Contemporary Gnostic," co-founder of Evolver.net”

“I wanted to create a voyage to the moon just for her, but what Ishould have given her was a real journey on earth.”

“Flowers alternate with her eyes as we journey through these prodigal catacombs”

“It won't be an easy journey - do not expect it to be. But the easy journeys are not worth the leather on the soles of our shoes, boy. It's the journeys that test us to our very core - the journeys that strip the clothes from our back, mess with our minds and shake our spirits - these are the journeys worth taking in life. They show us who we are.”
