Product Description

Pat Monaghan, Booklist

This is a compelling work. Lawlor writes clearly, his research is impeccable, and his dedication to the Australian peoples is made clear by the donation of the book's profits to aboriginal organizations.


Whole Earth Review

The best of what the Aboriginals have let outsiders know about their ecological and shamanic practices, origin myths and kinship rituals, social and spiritual practices. The illustrations are spectacular, more than 150 color and duotone illustrations include some of the earliest photographs of Aboriginal people, shown here for the first time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling, authoritative, insightful; a must to read., 25 Jan 1999
By A Customer
I read Voices when it first came out. I contacted Lawlor, and subsequently took him to the remote Kimberley region of Western Australia to meet with eminent Ngarinyin Lawman the late David Mowaljarlai and his countrymen. Robert Lawlor has written the most comprehensive, authoritative book on Aboriginal spirituality in life. It is masterful. He encouraged me to write a book on my own knowledge and experience with the Ngarinyin people. This I did. Men's Business Women's Business: The Spiritual Role of Gender in the World's Oldest Culture published by Inner Traditions International (US)was inspired by Voices of the First Day. Unlike many who write about Aboriginal culture and philosophy Robert's diligent attention to authenticity is unsurpassed. This book has my unequivocal recommendation. A modern masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Treasure, 26 Aug 1998
By A Customer
Robert Lawlor has an incredible ability to bridge between cultures. His descriptions of Aboriginal perceptual reality made exquisitely good sense to my rational mind and at the same time relaxed its rigidity and stretched it. Voices of the First Day had the effect of evoking what I felt like I already knew and always had known but had merely forgotten. For me it was the book of a decade, one of my half-dozen of most treasured volumes.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books on the Australian Aborigines., 27 Oct 1997
By A Customer
Lawlor weaves together three strands:beliefs and customs of the Australian Aborigines, an indictment of Western civilization, and aspects of the new physics.He has penetrated Aboriginal consciousness to explain their world view from the inside.He explains why the land is sacred to them, and how keeping in contact with the Dreamtime maintained their way of life for over 100,000 years.The deeper and symbolic meanings of Aboriginal social organization and life cycle rituals are discussed.This is a book that can expand the boundaries of the mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! Completely changed my views on prehistory.
This is an outstanding book. It covers and incredibly broad range of information. In examining Aboriginal culure and aspirituality, the author ties in a critique of modern... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars The Noble Savage
If you are interested in the mythology of the noble savage you may like this new age version of aboriginal culture, but if you are after something real look elsewhere.

1.0 out of 5 stars Err.... what new physics?
This a book of nothing but new age junk and an indictment of sensible views of the world.If you hate common sense and science this is the book for you, otherwise don't bother! END
