These twenty-one stories from the Cherokee, Navajo (Dine), Aztec, Maya, and other North American civilizations have guided female shamans toward an understanding of the sacred for centuries. Here are creation stories, prophecies, stories that disclose how medicine power is transmitted from the world of the supernaturals to the world of humans. . . . Together they make up a female shamanic tradition and suggest the relation of ritual magic to women's daily lives.
