Lynn V. Andrews takes the reader with her as she goes on inward journeys with the help of the Sisterhood of the Shields, and relates the stories of others.
Join her as she is initiated into the Sisterhood and creates her own shield, which will show her the nature of her spiritual path (Spirit Woman). Follow her to the Yucatan, where the medicine wheel leads her, and she is faced with the terrifying reality of the butterfly tree (Jaguar Woman). Enter the Dreamtime with her, where she emerges in medieval England as Catherine, and encounters the Grandmother, who offers to show Andrews how to make her life one of goodness, power, adventure, and love (The Woman of Wyrrd).
Not all these stories describe the author's own spiritual experiences. Meet Sin Coraz?n, an initiate into the Sisterhood, whose husband abandons her. She nearly succumbs to her inner dark power and unleashes her rage on men and the Sisterhood (Dark Sister). Andrews also writes about the elder women of the Sisterhood: their loves, their lives, their losses (Tree of Dreams).
Andrews shows us how to channel our own spiritual and intellectual energy and balance the need for love with the desire for power (Love and Power). She takes the reader on numerous spiritual journeys that inevitably uplift.Slipping back and forth between her writer's life as a white woman in New York City and her mystical life amongst the native Indian women of northern Canada, Lynn Andrews weaves a wise woman's tale of aging. As the popular bestselling author (Medicine Woman) now faces her own midlife passage and wrestles with immortality, she finds herself seeing visions of her old nemesis, the evil sorcerer Red Dog, who has seemingly risen from the dead. What does this all mean? Andrews brings her fears and questions to her elder teachers in Canada, whom she has informally apprenticed with for many years. This is all vintage Andrews--complete with visions, dreams, and lessons from the elders.
Now that our political consciousness has been elevated, it is hard to wholly embrace this white woman's interpretation of native teaching. At times it is even hard to believe that all the encounters with the women in northern Canada really occurred. The dialogue seems stilted, forced into recounting past events from previous books, or contrived into teaching a lesson rather than relaying actual conversations. Yet, there is no doubting that Andrews has some interesting insights on aging, especially for her fans who appreciate and feel at ease in her shape- and place-shifting format. --Gail Hudson
