Evidence of Magic





Inquire about the Collectors' Edition

Inquire about the Limited Edition


Hidden in remote areas of Nevada and adjacent states are beautiful rock engravings known as petroglyphs. They record the visions and dreams of ancient Native Americans. Many are thousands of years old, and most are completely unknown to the public; their existence has been kept secret to protect them from vandalism.

World renowned photographer John Wimberley spent ten years searching for these fragile, irreplaceable cultural treasures. During this time he visited more than 100 sites and exposed 5000 large format negatives. His stunning black and white photographs reveal the beauty and profound sacredness of shamanic images in stone.

Evidence of Magic contains 62 superb reproductions of photographs made between 1999-2008, a map of the Great Basin showing regions photographed and an author’s preface. Designed by John Wimberley, the format is 8"x10", 80 pages, hardcover with dust jacket. Publication of Evidence of Magic is limited to 1000, signed and numbered copies. Published by Stone With Light Publishing, Ashland, Oregon.
