Book Description
Editorial Reviews
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.

Andrews' Most Moving Book Yet!,
By myriamgoldman@usa.net (Israel) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crystal Woman: The Sisters of the Dreamtime (Paperback)
I have read most of Lynn Andrews books (I started with Medicine Woman) and even though her first experiences and journeys were quite fascinating, this particular narration explains much more about female spirituality and what a woman can give to herself and those around her. Through Andrews different experiences in the Australian aboriginal landscape (they are many), we see that once you start on your spiritual quest, you receive/acquire more and more gifts that are directly related to your spiritual courage. "Crystal Woman" truly moved me - and I've been into New Age studies since for the past twenty years!

You have got to read this book!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Crystal Woman: The Sisters of the Dreamtime (Paperback)
When i first picked up this book it was by accident, but the title intrigued me so I checked it out. Boy I was in for a surprise! As I read this book I was amazed at how much power that a female possesses inside of herself. I was so into this book I read it in 2 days. After this first book I was hooked on all the rest of her books. The thing that got me the most was that these books were based on her real life experiences. From then on I have been trying to find my spirituality, this and the other books has inspired me
5.0 out of 5 stars
