Synopsis

A Native American shaman draws on both her traditions and her training in modern psychology to present a new approach to your emotional life. Seven ceremonies help you find inner strength and peace. To prepare you for your inner journey, complete and detailed instructions are provided for creating a sacred space where you are encircled by a wheel made of cornmeal and cleansed by the softly rising smoke of smoldering herbs. There you bring your spirit journal and other sacred tools, all clearly explained, and venture into vision with lessons from the entities of the spirit world. Each chapter features a shamanic story, a ceremony, and a vision to help you become more deeply in touch with the "dance of life." 192 pages, 23 b/w illus., 6 x 9.

About this title

Review:

To successfully travel the shamanic path, one must develop an understanding of the four elements that compose human beings: spirit, emotion, body, and mind. Wolf Moondance uses her rainbow medicine wheel to build a new interpretation of the vision quest based on the traditional foundations of Native American shamanic traditions. Star Medicine, the third book in her Rainbow Medicine series, focuses on the southern portion of the rainbow wheel, the domain of emotions. In this book, Moondance teaches ceremonies and dances of the South that can be performed by anyone with the desire and dedication. These dances are the way to spiritual visions, where lessons that show the magic of emotion are learned. Moondance delves into the spirit world alongside readers as she lights the path to discovery and connects visions with poetic accounts of her personal experiences on the rainbow wheel.
