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.
A "magic" book that leads you to the magic world.

She makes us to be involved; we are not a strangers here, we look at this world through eyes of mediums and witches. That makes the book really great - an outstanding writer's skill of the author. Just concentrate - and you feel like in web of other world.
