Preface
Since x973 I have been traveling to Manitoba， Canada， to see a
certain Native American medicine woman named Agnes Whistling
Elk. At first I came to her as an art dealer from Los Angeles in
search of a sacred marriage basket. Slowly our relationship changed，

restructure my beliefs as to who I am and what the world is. In an
alien environment I was pitted against an adept male sorcerer named
Re~ Dog. In this dangerous struggle I triumphed， much to my
surprise. I have undergone several initiations since then， culminating
with an initiation into a highly secretive shamanistic society of
women known as the Sisterhood of the Shields.
Agnes asked me to write about these experiences， to \"let the eagle

Earth. Medicine Woman was my first attempt to do this， and Flight
of the Seventh Moon was the second in a series of books about the
extraordinary adventures and shamanistic teachings I have
encountered. These books stress the ancient powers of woman. This
ancient knowledge has been memorized and beaded into history by
powerful Native women throughout time in order to protect and
