This video by Max Dashú reveals the rich cultural record of medicine women, seers, oracles, healers, trance-dancers, shapeshifters, and dreamers—on a global scale. Rare images of women’s ceremonies in rock art of the Sahara, southern Africa, Europe, and North America. Tiger women in India and China. Ecstatic dancers in Chinese bronzes and Cretan seals. Ceramic sculptures of female shamans in Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, and Japan. Shamanic crowns of Afghanistan and Korea and the Altai. Nordic völur, and shamanic valences of the witch in Europe. Testimony of Mexican codices, Quechua painting, and Calchakí bronzes. Sacred staffs, rattles, fans, and mirrors. Visions, oracular chambers, casting of lots, and laying on of hands.

To experience the beauty, power and wisdom of these spiritual legacies is medicine for the spirit, especially for the women who have been pushed down, marginalized, denied, and silenced in the name of religion. These most ancient spiritual ways have immense value—however far back, or deep, we have to go to recover this human birthright.
