About this title

From Publishers Weekly:

In an account that strains credibility, Andrews describes her purported adventures in the Australian outback with her mentor Agnes Whistling Elk, an aboriginal shamaness named Ginevee, various sorcerers and spirits. The bizarre psychic world she paints in overly lyrical prose will be familiar to readers of her popular Star Woman and Jaguar Woman. Dolphins transmit a dream-vision to her via a eucalyptus tree that acts as an antenna; she peers through magic crystals inside her mind; encounters with hostile spirits test her spiritual powers. Among the lessons she learns are that we create our enemies within ourselves and that each of us must balance female and male energies. The narrative includes no photographs, annotations or documentation. 65,000 first printing; author tour.

From Library Journal:

The fifth volume in the author's personal chronicle of her initiation into shamanism takes her to Australia and a secret village of "women of power" where she learns to combat real and imaginary foes and fears in the surreal time-space known as the Dreamtime. Andrews's ( Star Woman ) first-person narrative combines pop- mysticism with bits and pieces of aboriginal myth, producing a "nonfiction fantasy" that will appeal primarily to readers familiar with the author's previous titles.
