Summary: Very Enlightening
Review: Believe it or not, this book helped my marriage; maybe even saved it. My husband was born during the Cornplanting Moon., which makes him like his totem, the Deer. Once I understood this and could relate to what the book said about deer poeple I was able to adjust myself to providing my husband with what he needs from our relationship. I found this book so helpful that I'm buying it to keep as a reference.

Summary: Your life is NOT set in stone
Review: I did not care for this book.This book implies that your life is set based on the time of your birth. This is nonsence. You may have traits that you find yourself following out of habit, but you do not have to follow them. If you have the desire, and the will to change your life you can! I am living proof of that statement. This is why I use the natural name Two Bears (to remind me of the two very different people I have been in my life). If you have questions or comments E-Mail me. Two Bears. Wah doh Ogedoda

Summary: A different approach to astrology
Review: I first read this book in 1988 and got it out again today as I recommended it to someone. Am glad to see that it is still in print. Astrology based on moon at time of birth is a different idea, but in my case being a brown bear really is on target. I liked all of the information on minerals and plants, too. I've read several of Sun Bear's books and find them thought provoking.

Summary: Everything that comes around goes around.
Review: I have only read one book by Sun Bear and was facinated by the fact that anyone, Native or not, could find peace by just doing something spiritual like this. I am a member of two Ojibway tribes, and yes, I did grow up on three different reservations in my life so I feel I can speak with confidence on this matter. I do not care if people agree or disagree with the Native religions because they are all different and it is not up to me,or anyone else, to tell you what is native or non-native so if you believe you can find happiness from reading "astrological" points of view from Sun Bear then buy the book because it is better to love and practice something than to practice nothing at all. I would also recommend traveling to a nearby "Rez" for an introduction to religion, and they don't have to be Chippewa like myself or Sun Bear, because I know the best spiritual advise cannot be found in books. To correct a few reviews and from an Anthropological view, the Chippewa, or Ojibway, were not buffalo chasers like the plains natives, but fisherman and farmers from Canada with a HEAVY influence from the French (hows that for a European astrology connection) so please correct your review Apacheman because we, the Chippewa, are woodland indians so how could you know if we kept a calender or not (especially the Apaches being a Mexico indian). Native religions do not hate like others do so please do not give us a bad name because I read your profile and it seems all your reviews were negative. And as far as two bears is concerned I would like to know who named you or what naming ceramony you attended because we all have two lives, the one everybody see's and the one we hide(naming yourself does not constitute an indian name).

Summary: No such thing as "native astrology"
Review: Sorry, but anyone native will tell you the whole premise of this book is ludicrous. Plains tribes didn't keep calendars, so why would they have astrology? Astrology is a European thing, not native. Sun Bear, Wabun Bear, and their cult the so-called "Bear Tribe" are not respected among native people because of stunts like this, making up fantasies to exploit whites who are honestly seeking out native spirituality. If you want a truthful view of native religion, try Vine Deloria's God Is Red or any of his other great books. Go to a powwow or take an anthropology course. But don't fall for silliness like this. You will be angry and disappointed and no closer to understanding native cultures.

Summary: Very Enjoyable
Review: This book has come off the shelf multiple times. It has interesting insight and is enjoyable to read. If you like things like horoscopes and such, you'll enjoy Sun Bear's take on it all.

Summary: A great book and full a knowledge.
Review: This is a great book. It says many things about plants not only as totems but how someone can use them to heal or just feel better,it also says many things about the animals, ther way of life and ther influence to people that were born under ther moon...I've learned so many things about my self, nature, and others from this book and I'm thankfull.
