"Will bless your life, and the full Circle of Life, with wholeness and holiness." -- -- Brooke Medicine Eagle, author of Buffalo Woman Comes Singing
Book Description
Sharing the Truth of an Ancient
Feminine Wisdom Tradition
Jamie Sams, a member of the Wolf Clan Teaching Lodge, brings us a powerful new method for honoring and incorporating native feminine wisdom into our daily lives. Combining a rich oral tradition--passed on to her by two Kiowa Grandmothers, Cisi Laughing Crow and Berta Broken Bow--with the personal healing and guidance she has experienced through her female Elders, Sams created The 13 Original Clan Mothers. Each of the Clan mothers reflects a particular teaching, relates to a cycle of the moon, and possesses special totems, talents, and gifts that can help each of us cultivate our own personal gifts and talents.
Mother of Nature talks with her kin, Stone Person, Wild Flower, and Wolf are her friend. Read the first page

A thorough and practical book!,
By seamoon antha (Tofino, B.C. Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thirteen Original Clan Mothers (Paperback)
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.

Saddened to hear such negativity.,
By Sher Dra (Northridge, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thirteen Original Clan Mothers (Paperback)
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.

Pretty reading, but be cautious,
By A Customer
This review is from: Thirteen Original Clan Mothers (Paperback)
When I first bought this book, I enjoyed the stories within them. I felt that they offered great food for thought for spiritual contemplation. Unfortunately, I also found them lacking in truly deep thought -- they were more of a superficial approach to important issues.Recently, I have been informed by individuals within the Native American community that the work of Jamie Sams is offensive to Native Americans. Her work is presented in a manner disrespectful to her very source of information and/or inspiration for her writings. Although I do feel that this book has value, I believe that value is minimal. I suggest looking elsewhere. If you want a good read about a Native American woman, I highly recommend "Lakota Woman" by Mary Brave Bird/Mary Crow Dog. It is an autobiography that presents a Native American's views about her life, including Native practices and beliefs, and is VERY eye opening and insightful!
