The Witch's Dream: A Healer's Way of Knowledge (Compass)

i have read many books on shamans and witches but this book helped me to intuit instead of intellectualize the teachings so much more than any of them! Thank you for sharing these wonderful truths with us, Florinda.

This was a great read. It gave me life. A lot resonated with me and the teachings. It shows just how connected we all truly are in some way. If only this world would wake up and see.

I have read lots of Carlos Casteneda, and this has the same flavor as some of his work, though I think it contains much less real content in terms of shamanic or healing techniques. It felt like the author was trying to write about an experience in which she was obligated to leave out so many "secret" details that it felt shallow. It also seemed like there lots of filler content added to make the information that was given long enough for a book. It was entertaining though from a story-telling/cultural perspective, and an easy read.

...I was not expecting to be led along this line of thought but was pleasantly surprised....we always think we understand a concept with preconditioned idea's. I appreciate the insight...and truly hope there are teachers still around to help us seekers...I gave this book 4 stars for great stories through personal experience

Imagine how as we grow and progress through infancy we learn to limit or ignore certain awarenesses we were born with because we generally don't use them in our normal lives. Here is a journey to explore those awarenesses. [...]

A great, inspiring story about witches, and one woman's continuing journey in the world of the Warrior's Way, Carlos Castaneda. Written in a lyrical prose, dreamy and mysterious.

i love this book. verry nice and clear. when you read it the writter transports you to the moment. it give you many insights about the spiritual life

Fascinating!

Maybe best described as 'strange'. Anyone expecting a similar style to the Castaneda books might be disappointed. There is none of the 'intellectual' narrative and analysis that characterized Carlos' interactions with Don Juan and the other sorcerers. Instead there are a series of flashbacks to Florinda's youth, describing her encounters with various characters who were more or less 'witchy'. There is a primitive, unreflective atmosphere which personally I found heavy going.

good

The book is for those seeking wisdom.. it is not necessary to go through all the initiations but at least one can use some of the elements to further develop.I think this is going to become one of the Milestones in my life.. like Kryon, Yogananda the life of a Yogi and the Initiation from E. Haich.....

It was lovely to hear about female witches from a woman. God knows we've been vilified enough for taking on that role, so don't let the shamans get all the glory now!Female witches are just as infuriating and obscure as the guys. I just like them better

Pour qui se pose des questions sur le sens de sa vie...Deuxième intérêt, le rapport entre C. Castaneda et son guide nous mettent en lumière les problèmes d'un esprit trop cartésien face à l'inconnu...Qui plus est, la place du féminin dans ces mondes est on ne peut plus intéressante...
