Much more than a book - a life experience! I have been familiar with the work and teachings of Jamie Sams for many years and revere her as a wise woman, healer, teacher, founder of various networks, guardian of indigenous knowledge, and advisor to Nelson Mandela. The list could go on endlessly. She has created a rare and great jewel with the 13 Original Clan Mothers, which not only reconnects us with higher forms of feminine wisdom but also leads everyone to their highest power – women and men alike. Spirituality is experiential knowledge and not just refined reading. However, the 13 Clan Mothers are both. Many years ago, at the beginning of my work as a heart teacher, I experienced one of the greatest developmental leaps of my life when I dedicated an entire year to the power and strengths of each Clan Mother every month. This was the year of great breakthroughs. The material, the teachings, the initiations, and sacred paths that Jamie Sams makes available to all of us have a depth that far surpasses many other teachings. They are the work of a great soul, a teacher of humanity, who invites all people equally to find their true selves – women and men. Jamie Sams provides us with wise and loving navigation that highlights numerous pitfalls and maintains a concentrated focus on the release of our own abilities, strengths, and talents. Twelve Clan Mothers develop their tasks, strengths, and abilities for one moon each – only then can the thirteenth Clan Mother realize her vision and find the path from the visionary heavens to the earth. What Jamie Sams describes in her work is not only Native American wisdom that deeply touches and inspires but also a nuanced and effective method of manifesting the dream of life in thirteen clear steps.
