Description: | Select Guide Rating Slipping back and forth between her writer''s life as a white woman and her mystical life amongst the native Indian women of northern Canada, Lynn Andrews weaves a wise woman''s tale of ageing. As the popular best-selling author now faces her own midlife passage and wrestles with immortality, she finds herself seeing visions of her old nemesis, the evil sorcerer Red Dog, who has seemingly risen from the dead. What does this all mean? Andrews brings her fears and questions to her elder teachers, whom she has informally apprenticed with for many years. This is all vintage Andrews - complete with visions, dreams and lessons from the elders.Lynn V. Andrews takes the reader with her as she goes on inward journeys with the help of the Sisterhood of the Shields, and relates the stories of others. Join her as she is initiated into the Sisterhood and creates her own shield, which will show her the nature of her spiritual path. Follow her to the Yucatan, where the medicine wheel leads her, and she is faced with the terrifying reality of the butterfly tree. Enter the Dreamtime with her, where she emerges in mediaeval England as Catherine and encounters the Grandmother, who offers to show Andrews how to make her life one of goodness, power, adventure and love. |
