No Customer Reviews
In guila: The Vision, Life, Death, and Rebirth of a Two-Spirit Shaman in the Ozark Mountains, Mar a Cristina Moroles traces the path of her extraordinary life from the streets of Dallas to the wilderness of the Arkansas Ozarks, where she has resided for fifty years. Hailing from a large Indigenous and Mexican American family in Texas, Moroles apprentices herself to healers and shamans across the Americas as she follows the spiritual vision that leads her to establish a mountaintop sanctuary for women and children of color in a notoriously insular location in the Ozark Mountains. This is a survivor's tale, and a back-to-the-lander's tale, unlike any other. From early traumas to countercultural rebellion and profound spiritual awakening, Moroles recounts milestones that earn her the ceremonial names SunHawk and guila, as she builds a sustainable community off the grid, atop a mountain otherwise uninhabited by human life. guila tells the truth of one woman's search for freedom and all women's quest for dignity as it celebrates the healing powers of nature.
