Exploring Native American Wisdom: Lore, Traditions, and Rituals That Connect Us All

by Fran Dancing Feather

Why was I born? Why must I die? How can I interact with the universe? Are there really visions? Is there a Deity? The First Americans had the same questions. In Exploring Native American Wisdom, you are invited into a mystical dimension, where humans communicate with the Oldest Spirit of Creation, Grandmother Earth, animals, fire, wind, and water. The wisdom of the Old Ones unravels the mysteries inside us waiting to burst forth with a new understanding of our place in the circle of life. Enemies become worthy opponents. Pain becomes purification, and strife disappears. There are no problems, only challenges, when we discover that everything is sacred and that our souls are very old. Trudging becomes dancing as we gain the strength and perseverance to make our lives new each day. Exploring Native American Wisdom reveals how to live fully in a rapidly changing world, while reopening the ancient door to the divine power and wisdom within.

Nice insight into Native American culture. Had the distinct feeling that ideas were being communicated to me beyond just the words on the pages. Love that it was written by someone personally familiar as a practitioner rather than an outsider who studied the subject.
