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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 700 1 $a Pommaret, Fran�coise, $e author. 941 $a 2 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220302010610.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220202010432.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C72AE55283F511EC80F49B1C4CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
