"In this second book, following 'Woman Magician-Doctor', Lyn Andrews continues to write about her apprenticeship alongside Native American shaman Anies Whistling Elk. The most remarkable aspect of this book is its ability to convey the essence of the physical and spiritual lessons that Andrews received during her stay with the Indian tribe.
Her previous book spoke in detail about her initiation into the teachings of the Women's Shield Society, a secret society that, according to tradition, is the only one among the native Americans. In this book, she continues her education and discovers why she felt compelled to return and continue her training with Anies.
Both books are highly commendable, not only because they shed light on an unknown culture to us, but also because of Andrews' dynamic style and the humanity with which she opens herself up to new and often seemingly foreign experiences."
