5.0 out of 5 stars Fourteen Uplifting Biographies in One Book!, May 15, 2000
This review is from: Shape Shifters: Shaman Women in Contemporary Society (Arkana) (Paperback)
Each of the fourteen SHAPE SHIFTERS in this book is a woman shaman who sets a living example of health, balance, and integrity. These stories are uplifting, since most of these women experienced very deep trauma at some time in their lives from which they emerged stronger, wiser, and with gifts (such as healing, creativity, enhanced multisensory perception, and other psychic talents).

There is a resurgence now of shamanic women, who typically were aware from childhood of a subtle world of energy that became increasingly important in their lives as they matured. You may have heard of some of the women interviewed for this book; they include Joan Halifax, Lynn Andrews, Luisah Teish, Tsultrim Allione, Rowena Pattee, Ruth-Inge Heinze, Larissa Vilenskaya, Petey Stevens, Vicki Noble, Starhawk, J. Ruth Strock, Sandy Ingerman, Susan Eger Valadez, and Brooke Medicine Eagle.

Author Michele Jamal selected these women as modern-day examples of living a shamanic life in order to share both their inspirational stories and the underlying goal of helping to change a destructive global direction to one that is life oriented, while we still have time and space to do so.

I love this book so much that I keep coming back to read it again, and I give it my highest recommendation!
