Thank you for the light you bring to the planet. Many blessings always Heather Valencia ...?...Bear Clan Cherokee". For readers of Carlos Castaneda and Lynn Andrews, here is the fascinating true story of a woman's dramatic spiritual odyssey as the wife of a Yaqui Indian chief and sorcerer. This is Heather's story: her passionate love affair with Anselmo; her other worldly experiences among the Yaqui and their rich spiritual tradition; and her account of how she became a member of the powerful circle of Dreaming Women. "From earliest childhood Heather Valencia had vivid, precognitive dreams. In one of them, she would travel to a pre-Columbian world to join a mysterious, powerful spiritual leader. When she grew older, Heather married and raised a son, but her dreams continued and she found herself increasingly drawn to the desert of southern Arizona. Finally she decided to travel there, particularly to witness the colorful and famous Easter deer dance ceremony, and when she did, she met the mysterious figure of her dreams. This is the true story of Heather Valencia's journey to Yaqui, and her experiences with Anselmo Valencia".
