Deer Woman

Some people can run a mile in less than four minutes. Others can jump high into the air or lift heavy weights. Shamans are masters at journeying through the wilderness of the soul, crossing boundaries into the spirit world and then building bridges between the two worlds to guide us to walk the "good red road" or move with the Tao. The costumes of shamans not only tell us about their dreams and visions, but they also establish sympathetic magical linkages to spiritual beings and powers which create harmonies.
