Earth Energies Expert in Boone on Native American Day, September 25

Story by Bernadette Cahill

Page Bryant, the internationally known author, psychic and talk-show host, whose teaching on earth energies was featured in the October 2008 issue of High Country Magazine, will visit Boone on Friday, September 25.

Page Bryant, the internationally known author, psychic and talk-show host, whose teaching on earth energies was featured in the October 2008 issue of High Country Magazine, will visit Boone on Friday, September 25. She will appear at King Street’s Dancing Moon that afternoon, and Bryant’s husband, visionary artist Scott Guynup, will accompany her.

Bryant was the first apprentice of Sun Bear, the Chippewa medicine man who founded the Bear Tribe Medicine Society. She taught at Sun Bear Medicine Wheel gatherings for many years and has also worked as a psychic-intuitive counselor for more than 25 years.

Organizer Treva McLean of Banner Elk said the visit, which takes place on Native American Day, is to strengthen the link between the Eastern Cherokee, and the Hopi and Navajo tribes of the west. The Hopi and Navajo tribes’ ancestral lands and ancient way of life in Black Mesa, Ariz. are under critical threat from government sanction of increasing coal-mining activity in the region.

Mclean and other High Country locals are fundraising and gathering supplies for a visit to Black Mesa to show support and give practical help to the Hopi and Navajo who are increasingly impoverished by the coal-mining activity.

Besides lengthy stints on radio in several major markets, Bryant has written many books, including The Spiritual Reawakening of the Great Smoky Mountains. This is both a comprehensive treatment of the importance of earth energies in human beings’ evolving spirituality and a guide to the nature and location of ancient sacred sites in the Appalachians, including sites in the High Country.

In 1980, in groundbreaking work, Bryant was the first to label vortexes and define the characteristics of sacred sites in Sedona, Ariz., which is southwest of the Black Mesa coal-mining area.

Another of Bryant’s books, Starwalking, deals with the astronomy of ancient peoples, how their knowledge influenced their lives, how humanity has suffered from its disconnection from the stars and ways of re-establishing the connection. 

One of Bryant’s recent books is a novel set in ancient Egypt called, The Second Coming of the Star Gods. Bryant and Guynup operate the Mystic Mountains Teaching and Retreat Center in their home in Waynesville.
