Quetzalcoatl Dreams
Bennett & Hastings Publishing
$15.00
At a remote Mesoamerican site, a carving of the fabled deity Quetzalcoatl awakens from the stones of a pyramid. There is one person present to witness this-Martha, who has come in search of ancient wisdom for a new age. Her studies with a jaguar shaman have not prepared her for what to do, and as her fellow students at the Ancient Wisdom School wait for her return, they are faced with unsettling developments of their own. Each of them holds a piece of the puzzle, but how all the pieces will fit together is a mystery. All that is known is what the prophecies say: when Quetzalcoatl returns, it is to dream a new earth into being.

Dance of the Jaguar
Trafford Publishing
$18.00
Dance of the Jaguar is a magical story about discovering your true self: the radiant, powerful person within. From its opening pages, opportunities appear, and Martha, the main character, is faced with a choice. At first she can't believe that she could have a bigger, more meaningful life, but after several mishaps she goes to a little-known school for the lost arts in Mexico to see if it's possible. Examining the beliefs that have limited her options, she begins to connect with the life she has only dreamed of.
As she learns to live with intention and embrace the vibrant energy within, she experiences a wonderful new feeling: joy. Her biggest obstacle is overcoming fear and self-doubt. Her new world brings a burst of experience and a lively connection to the universe. She learns to use her gifts and pay attention to the intuitive guidance that is helping her. But most importantly, as she stops giving away her power to others, she begins to experience that she is innately powerful herself. This is her moment of transformation, when she reconnects with the person she always knew was inside.
There is wisdom for all of us in these pages. We can embrace our full potential and recognize we all are part of an interactive, interconnected cosmos that supports and sustains us.
Dance of the Jaguar is a 2008 Silver Nautilus Book Award Winner. The Nautilus Book Award is given to books that are helping to change our consciousness and the world.
