Spirit Healing: Native American Magic & Medicine
Atwood has produced a self-help guide to the Native American spiritual growth process. Each chapter opens with a vignette describing a spiritual growth step in the lives of fictional Native American characters, and concludes with instructions to the reader on achieving this stage of development. Readers are given directions on how to discover their own places of power, auras, power animals, healing powers, and other elements of personal spirituality, attainable even if one lives in a modern urban setting. More of a handbook than a story, this title would work well with Jamie Sams and Twyla Nitsch's Other Council Fires Were Here Before Ours ( LJ 10/1/91). Public libraries will find an audience with those adults interested in Native American philosophy and New Age enthusiasts.- Bruce Alan Hanson, Wayzata East Junior H.S.
