Profile
Birthdate: 1945
Mary Summer Rain got the name Summer Rain from No Eyes, a blind Chippewa medicine woman. In 1977, both she and her husband felt a calling and moved their family from Detroit to Colorado. Unemployment and poor job prospects, plus a yearning to get closer to the earth were the prime reasons for this move.
But in hindsight, Mary felt it was a greater calling, when still unhappy with their situation she got into her car and drove out into the Colorado woods one day. Leaving the car, she sat on a stump or fallen tree and cried her eyes out. When she looked up, there was No-Eyes.
So began a wonderful teacher-pupil relationship that would last until No-Eyes' death and impart to Mary not only a reconnection to her native roots, but a wisdom and knowledge to pass on to future generations, aboriginal wisdom and philosophy that is good for Mother Earth and her children.
Her writings exist, at a time when humanity is again open, to embrace, honor, and include the great wisdom of the aboriginal peoples of the world.
Prophecies
A Medicine Woman for The Chippewa Nation Mary Summer Rain and her blind mentor No Eyes made many prophecies of which several have proved true. You can read more on their prophesied warnings here http://www.alamongordo.com/Mary_Summer_Chippewa_Prophecies.html
Her rise to fame came through the writing of her first series of books that followed her teachings from a blind Chippewa medicine woman that she called No-Eyes. They met after Mary Summer Rain, drawn to a particular place while driving, was sitting crying in the Colorado woods after finding out that the book she had submitted to a publisher wasn’t accepted. Mary Summer Rain was No-Eyes’, last student in this life time. They spent many days in a remote cabin up in the Colorado Mountains and became beloved friends as No-Eyes carried out her lessons of the Spirit and Mother Earth. You can tell through the writing of Mary Summer Rain how emotionally powerful these profound teachings were and the special interaction that their relationship allowed. The lessons that were learned were about her Native American ancestry, beliefs and ceremonies, dreams, astral projection, the spirit realm, seeing into the future, learning how to kindly use Mother Earth for food and medicine, and so much more!
Mary Summer Rain’s writing style lets you be there with her in what she is seeing and experiencing, which I enjoyed. Rather than read your way through the book you tend to feel your way through the book (in my opinion anyway). In her books there is a lot of wisdom and knowledge interwoven into the interesting stories with a glorious back-drop of the Colorado Mountains. Each book (I say this because you will want to read more than one once you get started) will fascinate you in its own way.
So ‘where do I start?’ you ask, well if logic is your thing then Book One – Spirit Song is the way to go.
Followed by: Phoenix Rising, Dreamwalker, Phantoms Afoot, Earthway, Daybreak, and Soul Sounds
