From Aggressive Addict to Indigenous Elder & Spiritual Leader | Pirate Myangah Butler #079
Pirate Butler got his name because he has one eye, one leg and a tattooed face.
He was a drug and alcohol addict for forty years, did time in prison for too long and spent decades in a violent culture where it was dangerous to express emotions and open your heart and mind.
At a critical time, the spirit within this indigenous man was sparked.
Connection to country and culture was the light that dissipated the darkness.
Today, Pirate embodies the sacred wisdom and practices of indigenous Australia and shares it to help those who not only require healing, but anyone that yearns for deeper connection to country, indigenous culture and natural law.
