The Thirteen Original Clan Mothers : Your Sacred Path to Discovering the Gifts, Talents, and Abilities of the Feminin

Rating:
Summary: A thorough and practical book!
Review: I have personally benefited from Jamie's book by being a part of a circle of women who use this book as a guide to gain a greater understanding of ourselves and those around us.
It doesn't matter what color we are, we all come from the same rainbow with the same lessons to learn. The 13 original clan mothers gives us very clear, detailed wisdom of what it is to be a whole, complete woman. It is written in a simple, accessible way. Myself as well as many women I know, have experienced the magic of the clan mothers cycles as a part of our lives, with each mother presenting herself to us personally with her teachings and love. Try incorporating it into your daily life, and see how the lessons and wisdom come to you from moon to moon! It is powerful, if you choose to use it. Ofcourse,each to her/his own.
I believe Jamie to be a beautiful Spirit, and it comes through her words in the 13 Original Clan Mothers.

Summary: Saddened to hear such negativity.
Review: I haven't read this book yet, although I intend to.
I recently received it as a gift from a friend after
having told her how wonderful a book I thought "Dancing the Dream" was. It's sad to see that, as the result of what I think is jealousy and resentment for Jamie's success, some rather negative comments have been posted. Don't believe all that you hear/read. From what I read in Dancing the Dream, Jamie doesn't claim to be a pure blood, and she's very honest about how she has been treated by some members of the Native American community.
Some feel she has no right to share the mysteries of greatness
because she isn't a "pure breed", (I find that just pure arrogance), some feel she's giving information away that somehow will become diluted by us "white folk", (there is a
bitterness against the white man, and rightly so, -- one of the casualties of cruelty is the loss of trust), but the fact that this information is being shared by so many, both pure breed and other, is, to me, a sign that it NEEDS to be shared. Many of us have lost our way. We live in a world of chaos and hatred, of dysfunction and disassociation, and we need to find a way back to our sacred paths. Thank you Jamie Sams, and others, for providing us with the means with which to do that.

Summary: Not Another ... - you be the judge
Review: She sells Lakota Sweat Lodges and Medicine CardsJust like Amylee, she claims to be a member of the "Wolf Clan teaching lodge" (this is a big warning sign) She claims her stories were passed down by two Kiowa grandmothers: Cisi Laughing Crow and Berta Broken Bow. She assigns colors to the moons (i.e.) "Gives Praise Moon" gets the color purple. Strangely enough, she has created a twelve month moon cycle based on the Julian calender and is completely oblivious to the basic fact that tribal people realize that there are thirteen lunar months. She also promotes what she calls the twelve cycles of truth which are supposed to be Seneca teachings. She claims that the thirteen crystal skulls made popular by Art Bell listeners are part of traditional Native American teachings. She tells the reader to use animal bones to create Kachina dolls and ceremonial bone masks. ...

A must read for all, and especially Mothers. I have passed this as a gift down to my eldest daughter, and when my littliest can read, so too shall she read it. Thank-you Jamie Sams for your offering to all.
