Requests:  0 Summary:  "In the pristine Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, famous for its peaceful Buddhist religion and monasteries on mountain peaks, female shamans fill an important spiritual role as mystics and healers. These women communicate with local spirits, cure diseases through prayer, and travel to the netherworld to return and communicate their encounters with the dead and the horrors of the hell realms. An award-winning American journalist and a celebrated French anthropologist travel to the Himalayas to meet the famous living female shamans of Bhutan, relate their extraordinary life stories, and reflect on the centrality of the divine feminine in Himalayan Buddhism. This is the first intimate narrative account of the living tradition of female shamanism in Bhutanese culture"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 201.44082 Gu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 201.44082 Gu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 201.44082 Guyer-Stevens Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 201.44082 Gu Checked In Add Copy to MyList
