About the author
Granddaughter Crow is a Navajo medicine woman and the author of several books on shamanic practice published by Llewellyn Publications and North Atlantic Books, including Shamanism for Beginners: Journeying with Spirits, Ancestors & the Natural World and Shamanism and Your Shadow: Using Animal Guides to Explore and Heal Your Inner Self. Her books present shamanism through the lens of Navajo tradition and organize their material around structures such as the four cardinal directions and associated animal guides, raven, snake, owl, and wolf, alongside practical exercises and meditations. Hozho and Wisdom of the Natural World extend the same approach to questions of balance, self-knowledge, and connection to plants, animals, and land. Taken together, the books are written for readers new to shamanic practice who want a structured, exercise-based introduction grounded in Indigenous teaching rather than an academic or comparative study of shamanism.
