David Seals

'The Powwow Highway', 'The Libyad', 'Arizona Savagery' - these are some of the many titles by this prolific author of 45 years deep in the "belly of the Beast" as he calls the United States of America. An essayist as well for The Nation magazine, filmmaker with George Harrison's Handmade Films, playwright with a musical epic adaptation of 'The Powwow Highway' on the New York stage, David has been friends with great Native American leaders like Leonard Peltier, Anna Mae Aquash, and John Trudell in the struggle for justice and Treaty Rights. He has also lived 3 years in Tripoli, Libya, and has written extensively about it in the contemporary novel 'The Libyad', and which is also adapted for the New York stage under the title of 'The Prince of Libya', chronicling in detail his meetings with Muammar al-Qathafi and explaining his overthrow and the positive future of his beloved North Africa, in post-Islamic tribes. As a Poet and shamanic mythographer, David is also very spiritual as a "Medicine Warrior" with the Native elders of the Americas and Africa especially. His books of philosophy and religious history include 'The Creation Myth' about the origins of great Shamans like Osiris and Isis, and the interlopers and impostors to their divinity who call themselves "gods", like jehovah. 'Confessions of the Gods' is an "Encyclopaedia of the New Shamans' detailing a NEW MYTHIC ENCYCLOPAEDIA in 970 pages of the human deities who have so profoundly shaped all human, supernatural history.
