Spirit Woman: The Teachings of the Shields

Spirit Woman is the sequel to Medicine Woman, the seminal contribution to what has become a library of writing on the personal search for the sacred. After her dramatic initiation into the Sisterhood of the Shields, a secret society of women, Andrews tells the story of her struggle to understand and embrace the awesome power and wisdom bestowed on her by her Native American teachers Agnes Whistling Elk and Ruby Plenty Chiefs. Through the creation of her own shield, both a physical and a spiritual tool, she learns the nature of her sacred path. With its fascinating view of the initiation ritual of a warrior woman, Spirit Woman is a book to be placed alongside Medicine Woman and Jaguar Woman. It will inspire and captivate for years to come.
