Summary: Even if you don't believe it...
Review: ...this book works. You don't have to believe Florinda Donner experienced or witnessed everything in this book to find something useful about her portrayal of the life of a Venezuelan healer and spiritualist (our modern, American terms). Read it like a novel that certainly feels like it was thoroughly researched. You'll find it an excellent journey to a place you've never been before.

Summary: A welcome addition to the works of Castaneda's party
Review: Donner-Grau tells the story of her adventures in Venezuela under the tutelage of a local witch and healer. We follow her blossoming from an uncertain traveler with muddled purpose to a healer in her own right; one who appreciates the magical nature of interpersonal relationships.This book would be highly recommended to anyone with an interest in shamanism, healing or wichcraft. A foreword by Carlos Castaneda cements the book into the matrix of others written by Castaneda himself and by the other members of his party.

Summary: the cubic centimeter of chance
Review: I can't leave this marvelous book with a couple of limited reviews here at Amazon, even though it's been ten years since I last read it. Donner's story is simply a great human story; it's really about becoming more human. It's about the simple necessities in life, about the choices we are forced to make when choices are most limited, and about the life we find through that "cubic centimeter of chance." It gets outside -- thank God! -- the crime and punishment limited mentality of America....and of course that is why such a book will bore some readers and frighten others.
