Synopsis

This autobiographical adventure is about a journalist who meets the enigmatic sorcerer, Running Deer, and her initiation into the sorcerer’s world and mastering lucid dreaming. This book, that follows in the traditions of Carlos Castaneda and others, takes the reader through the magic realms of the unknown and gives a new approach to the traditional training of women sorcerers. It takes place not in some fantasy world, but in a contemporary society, and addresses the things we face on a daily basis in our everyday lives.

Review:

I found the premise of this book interesting. Through a narrative, the author manages to take the reader on a voyage through her discovery of her abilities to master dreaming. She does this with the help of her Mentor, Vidar or Running Deer.

She shows throughout the book various ways to get in touch with your healing aspects, sexual energy, etc. She doesn’t do this in follow this step by step process, but rather by describing her own voyages through it.

This is an area I’ve always been interested in, and this book stands as a good story of one who’s gone through the process. If you are looking for a step-by-step manual, you probably won’t find it here. You have to read and study the different things she is doing in order to get the process.

If you are interested in Lucid Dreaming or in Native American shamanistic ideas, then I think you’d enjoy this book. It’s definitely an area I want to explore more in depth.
