Confessions of a Spiritual Thrillseeker: Medicine Teachings from the Grandmothers

Rating:
Summary: Tales From the Trenches of Self-Discovery
Review: Perhaps fittingly, the science of dreams has billions of practicioners but very few professors! Visionary poet Oriah Mountain Dreamer has impacted many people with her recent poem, "The Invitation". But where did she come from? What is the background of this Mountain Dreamer? A dog-eared copy of this elusive and mysterious text made its way into my hands for a brief time-just long enough for me to read about the trials and tribulations of a young woman (the author) who fights to have her voice heard as she negotiates a life-altering path of ceremony and sorcery for well-intentioned beginners. Is exploration of the shadowy borderline between the seen and unseen accelerating chaotic changes in her life, or is it precipitating them? The seeker is faced with many turbulent decisions and personal dilemmas; and also seeds of light, veiled in darkness. The trickster nature of the coyote permeates the book, which is ultimately an unflinching account of a contemporary quest for ageless wisdom. Read this one with an open mind, and a giving heart. Merrily, merrily, and sometimes unmerrily, life is but a dream!
