Summary: The Book is Grand it saved my life.
Review: I think there are a lot of ways t see a Truth and I want to say this book is full of truth. I was sad and very angery at the lies that are told about good people and the indian ways. I was lost and drunk and this book pened me up to the memories of my Grandmother and father. I remembered the love and the truth and I'm alive and teaching school because of the book. Please, if you need spirit and are looking to learn grab this one and keep it close-It is Great!!! Carol Smith

Summary: I love the book-It helps!
Review: The author does many things right and I only have two minor nitpicks.

Nitpicks first.

1 In a few places the author seems to go down to a children's level.

2. She associates the elemnts with other directions than I, but on page 39 she does allude to other traditions for casting a medicine wheel.

My praise for this book.

1. the text is clear and easily understood.

2. On page 20 and other locations the author makes it abundantly clear that Shamanic practitioners should abstain from mind altering drugs. (a refreshing departure from Carlos Castaneda!) She prefers meditation to enter the shamanic state of consciousness, and I concur!

3. The author teaches that you only need a few items to practise real shamanism, and more importantly you should have no difficulty finding them at the nearby store if you do not already have them.

4. The ceremonies are extremely simple to perform.

5. The importantance of the proper frame of mind (a feeling of thanksgiving and gratitude)

6. the importance of giving small gifts (cornmeal, tobacco, small stones, etc) as a way of saying thank you to mother earth.

and other reasons

Summary: The Real Thing
Review: This book is a contemporary teaching tool to reach out to all people that strive for a better life. Many would say that this isn't "traditional" material or that shamans don't write books. The idea of this book is to reach out to the public in a contemporary Native American spiritual way, and allow people to find happiness in a difficult world. This book accomplishes the goal, and succeeds in being an excellent healing tool. Doubt or anger is not what this book is about. It is about sharing a vision (contemporary) and helping people to have a guide for self healing and happiness. No, this isn't "tradional" Native American writing, but it IS great contemporary Native American writing. We are all on this earth to share our ideals and culture, so do yourself a favor and read all of Wolf Moondance's work. Native American's do write books and they also share their visions with the rest of the world. Remember anger and negative opinions do NOT mend the hoop. The book is a great beginning to help people get acquinted with spirituality whether it is Native American or a personal experience. The book is a quality experience and I recommend it highly.

Rating: 5 stars
