Comment: The Sacred Art Of Hunting: Myths, Legends And The Modern Mythos is a thought-provoking survey of the rich heritage, customs, and histories of the hunt drawn from worldwide cultures and presenting a penetrating insight into the soul of the hunter.

The Sacred Art Of Hunting is a richly, wonderfully illustrated work which will provide inspire to hunters and enlightening for non-hunters as it offers a persuasive and thoughtful perspective on the nature of human beings, our presence in the natural scheme of things, and our evolving place in a changing world.

Summary: the sacred art of hunting - a review by ray stroup
Comment: Hunting ethically is personal, maybe, sanctified. As hunters, we feel, think, act, and reflect upon our blessed experiences. We are comfortable with who we are and grateful for what we do. Hunters are conservationists, humanitarians and cultural heroes. Why then, are so many hunters at a loss for words when asked, Why do you hunt? How can you justify the killing of animals? The Sacred Art of Hunting arms us with those answers, and more.
Our relevancy and identity as hunters are challenged with suspicion by the uninformed and misinformed. We are increasingly asked to validate our very existence. Swan's The Sacred Art of Hunting takes the reader on a spirited journey to the center of the hunter's soul. The adventure is an ongoing reflection and thought provoking celebration of hunters and hunting. From the introduction, Hunters: An Endangered Species? through Chapter 15, The Hunter's Moon and the Crystal Ball the reader will feel an increased sense of value and a responsibility to honor and actively support hunters and hunting, for the right reasons.
The Sacred Art of Hunting is a must read for hunters and non-hunters. The information is powerful and energizing. The photos are historic and keep you in awe. You see a bull elk shedding antlers with the horns having left the head and are part way to the ground. You see a (circa 1880s)photograph of Theodore Roosevelt holding a shotgun on two poachers. You see a blessing of guns, hounds, hunters and the hunt inside a Catholic Church in Canada. The guns are held high forming and archway as the hunters pass through and become the community heroes. Try that in your community!
This reader came away with a double-barreled ability to first, improve my aim at better understanding my personal thoughts and experiences, thus enabling me to relate my hunting experiences with reverant meaning. Second, I now have the knock down power to become more formidable stopping the ongoing attack of anti-hunters charging forth with misinformation.
