Medicine Woman

Bok av Lynn V. Andrews
In this "New York Times" bestseller, Lynn Andrews tells of her extraordinary journey into the wilderness where she learns firsthand that some things in life are more valuable to acquire as attributes for the spirit and soul than as mere material possessions. In this startling autobiographical account of her journeys alongside the medicine woman Agnes Whistling Elk, Lynn Andrews peels back the curtain that would normally obscure the worlds of shamanism, spirituality, and one's search for an inner self. As she travels into the Canadian wilderness, Andrews finds that much can be learned from the way one looks at something. From savage animals to magical people, the journey brings her in contact with many obstacles. Although she begins with the desire to buy a simple basket, she ends up being the keeper of the marriage basket-a much more sacred role than her previous identity as an art collector. Andrews has learned at the end of her travels to see the world in an entirely new way.
