Henry Barnard Wesselman (1941-2021) was an American anthropologist known primarily for his Spiritwalker trilogy of spiritual memoirs.
In them, he claims to have been in contact with "Nainoa", an ethnic Hawaiian kahuna (shaman) living some 5,000 years in our future.
On a more positive note, Wesselman perceives an ongoing "wide-spread spiritual reawakening" which he dubs the "Modern Mystical Movement.
[2] His research speciality is involved with the reconstruction of the paleo-environments of early man sites (See Science magazine, Oct 2, 2009) and the cover story of National Geographic, July 2010.
He is the author of the Spiritwalker trilogy—Spiritwalker (1995), Medicinemaker (1998), and Visionseeker (2001)—as well as The Journey to the Sacred Garden (2003); Spirit Medicine (with Jill Kuykendall) (2004); Awakening to the Spirit World (with Sandra Ingerman), The Bowl of Light (2011), and The Re-Enchantment: A Shamanic Path to a Life of Wonder (2016) Spiritwalker has been published in 15 languages abroad.
