Awesome!!!!!

This is an amazing book. Its well written and the stories bring to life the deeper meaning of the Clan Mothers, lessons. We use this book as a guide to our full moon drumming circles. Love it!!!!!!

Book club must...

This book is set up perfectly for monthly review with a book club. I enjoy reading about the clan mothers and find something more everytime. The stories are set up to follow each moon cycle. They are not overly long or wordy but enjoyable and offer the opportunity to learn from the wisdom of our ancestors.

Saddened to hear such negativity.

I haven't read this book yet, although I intend to.I recently received it as a gift from a friend afterhaving told her how wonderful a book I thought "Dancing the Dream" was. It's sad to see that, as the result of what I think is jealousy and resentment for Jamie's success, some rather negative comments have been posted. Don't believe all that you hear/read. From what I read in Dancing the Dream, Jamie doesn't claim to be a pure blood, and she's very honest about how she has been treated by some members of the Native American community. Some feel she has no right to share the mysteries of greatnessbecause she isn't a "pure breed", (I find that just pure arrogance), some feel she's giving information away that somehow will become diluted by us "white folk", (there is a bitterness against the white man, and rightly so, -- one of the casualties of cruelty is the loss of trust), but the fact that this information is being shared by so many, both pure breed and other, is, to me, a sign that it NEEDS to be shared. Many of us have lost our way. We live in a world of chaos and hatred, of dysfunction and disassociation, and we need to find a way back to our sacred paths. Thank you Jamie Sams, and others, for providing us with the means with which to do that.

An incredible gift to us. Thank you Jamie.

This book allows us to open our perspectives.The Clan Mothers teach us to honor ourselves as female members of society which is so needed in America. I recommend this book to anyone who wishes to live their spiritual path on a day to day basis.

A gentle and enduring journey of self discovery

Within the stories of the births and quests for inner knowledge of each of the 13 Clan Mothers Jamie Sams has held up a mirror for all women. The quest for female spirituality is clearly defined in terms of loving, trusting, nurturing and facing self truth within our sacred space. The knowledge she shares can assist any woman who is on a path to find and hold her impeccable warrior spirit. Her creations of sheilds and dolls to hold the nature of each of the Clan Mothers are magical. Thank you Jamie for sharing your vision.
