“For those who would like to blend the meaning of the stars with Native American
New Age ideas, Raven Hail has authored Cherokee Astrology.”
“Cherokee Astrology contains a succinct introduction to Cherokee religion, which the author applies to
New Age methods of self-awareness.”
Note: the bold is mine, I hope for obvious reasons .. my opinion? Nuage BS and nothing more .. definitely not authentic nor tradish .. ..

“As an official of the Cherokee Nation, let me advise the readers that the "teachings" of "Raven Hail" are
not endorsed by the Nation, nor in fact, do they follow any Cherokee historical or cultural beliefs that I have ever heard.”
“
A New Age version of the Mayan calendar given new Cherokee-esque names. What is reprehensible about this book is that Raven Hail is in fact a Cherokee tribal member.”
“The Cherokee Sacred Calendar is a piece of writing that begs for explanations. Why is the Cherokee astrological system
essentially the same as that of the Maya and Aztecs and why hasn't this come out before? (We are also informed of the news that the Cherokee counted in a vegisimal system of dots and bars
exactly like that of the Maya). Why do only some of the personality descriptions seem to be
cleverly lifted (a short string of words at a time) from those in the book "Day-Signs: Native American Astrology From Ancient Mexico" but not others? Why are the tables the same as those in that unmentioned and uncited book? These are questions that both the author and the publisher need to answer.”
Note: bold is mine, again for what would seem to me to be obvious reasons .. .. just a bunch of nuage mix and match bs and apparently some plagiarism ..
