In his review of Doug Cuthand's book, Askiwina: A Cree World, Ron Kirbyson tells us (parenthetically) that "as a Cree" the author "is entitled to use the term 'Indian', which is generally both inaccurate and inappropriate. Jane Leverick is quoted as stating "...the magic might be healing spells akin to what we're seeing recognized now in medicine, like [Reiki]." Reiki (a Japanese word meaning universal life energy) has no connection with witchcraft or magic, and does not employ healing spells. The many benefits of Reiki treatments are being slowly recognized by more people in the medical world. Leverick's connecting Reiki with magic and healing spells could hinder the acceptance of Reiki as a valid healing therapy. I obtained the actual study data collected and used by the Downtown BI...
In her letter to the editor of June 4, 2007, responding to Jane Leverick's statement that "...the magic might be healing spells akin to what we're recognizing now in medicine, like Reiki," (Weekend conference will turn U of W into real witches' brew, May 18), Sally Pastuck states that Reiki is "a Japanese word meaning universal life energy" and that Reiki does not employ healing spells. Further, she says, that "connecting Reiki with magic and healing spells could hinder the acceptance of Reiki as a valid healing therapy." I think Leverick's point is that there are similarities in having both of these unorthodox, non-allopathic healing methods gain acceptance. It might interest Pastuck to know that magical healing works with exactly that same "universal life energy" that is used by pract...

[John Updike]'s 23rd novel is a sequel to his 1984 bestseller, The Witches of Eastwick, catching up with the three female witchcraft-practising protagonists years later. The new book at times seems rather superfluous, but there are enough of Updike's beautifully articulated observations -- on aging, social change and sex -- to keep the reader engaged. Widows begins with Alexandra's solo trip to Alberta's Rocky Mountains. Canadians will be amused by the things Updike chooses to say about this country, such as: "Canadian hotel restaurants seemed to think Frank Sinatra and Nat 'King' Cole were the latest in background music." And: "For [Alexandra], totem poles and moose had a basic boringness. She felt, up here, trapped in an attic full of stuffed animals. Regarding a funeral, [Sukie] say...

Pagans view the earth as sacred and alive. Our world view is one of interconnectedness of all things, so there isn't that separation that one often sees in the book religions. Sometimes it's called animism -- where everything has a spirit, a soul, an energy -- whether it's a weed or an eagle. "At one point, if you said you were Pagan or into witchcraft, people would go, 'Oooh, horrors.' Then it became kind of a popular thing and people thought it was silly, which was an improvement, perhaps. But now we've got to a point where we're no longer amusing; we're almost getting boring." "If you start a new religion this afternoon and you convert me tonight, you've increased 100 per cent," says [John Stackhouse], former professor of Modern Christianity at the University of Manitoba. "If you a...
