Mr. Long was searching for the way Hawaiian Kahunas perform the healings, and other things such as fire walking, etc.

This book has 50 case studies that I found facinating, and I recommend it highly to you.

This book does not disclose how the Kahunas do what they do, but I intend to buy more books by this author to see if he did discover the secret of secrets.

this...
dear lovers of magic,
... is a really wonderful book in which Max Freedom Long not only tries to unravel the secret behind Huna (Polynesian Magic) but also makes a case for the efficacy of magic over all. He is thoughtful, intelligent, and open minded without being naive, and honestly, was quite a bit ahead of his time. So even though this is an old book, its relevance for students of the true magic is still vital today. He never learns the inner secrets of the art/science, nor was he himself, from what he says, a practitioner. However, he was a very devoted and unbiased researcher and gives hints that for the true magician should be enough.

After reading this book I felt there was justice in knowing there many philosophical views and this one is no different. I felt is important to know the actual point where we originated from and our roots. To know were you at and figure out where you going it takes practice and experience. I feel this book gave me this information in questioning the law of nature, magic and the relationship to the nature life's folkloric dance. I feel the Recovering the Ancient Magic is good representation of the Polynesian people in keeping their legends alive and positive cultural outlook. Thanks to Max Freedom Long this information was put together nicely and put forward the touch of day to day use of improve our existence.
