Insightful tales and personal connection

Maria recounts traditional tales passed down from her grandfather Ten Bears and helps us understand how the old stories relate to our experience of the world today. I have studied with Maria and know from personal experience that she is a powerful ceremonialist who brings together people from all spiritual paths into a deeper understanding of themselves and their connection to the Earth.

Maria's words are like arrows

An elder of our people, the Apache, once said that Maria's words were like "arrows that were shot into our hearts to awaken our souls." Truely the memory and spirit of the Sierra Madre (Quero) Apache lives on in this book!

Life-Changing

Maria is an amazing woman and an amazing author. I have had the pleasure of attending many of her workshops and ceremonies and she has helped me embrace living my life with joy. Where before I felt disconnected with my body, now I live in it gladly! When I read this book, it reminds me about having passion and vision for life. It is so refreshing to read something that comes from the heart of someone so warm and loving as Maria. When you read this book, you cannot help but get past your own limitations. Thank you, Maria!

Great Book for all Indians and non-Indians to read!!!

I loved every word in this book. As an Indian person I am so glad that a book like this was written. Truely wonderful. I SUGGEST EVERYONE GO OUT AND BUY IT.

Food for Thought, for Prayer, for Growth

This book stays at my bedside, and I have re-read it several times. The wisdom of the Quero Apache sinks deeper into me with each reading. The stories have many layers. They are fun to read at the superficial level, but they grow deeper and more rich with every read. This is authentic, ancient wisdom. I have had the great pleasure of meeting the author and members of her family. Maria Yraceburu carries the stories and medicine bundle of her clan. She grew up on the res speaking Apache as her first language. Her ancestors forsaw her role as Spirit Woman before she was born. (...)Take this book and read it with open mind and heart, you will feel the authenticity and Wisdom for yourself. As in all things, follow your own heart, and beware messages filled with spite and fear. I can't wait until Maria's next book comes out this Spring!
