Dancing with Raven and Bear: A Book of Earth Medicine and Animal Magic by Sonja Grace

Dancing with Raven and Bear by Sonja Grace combines original wisdom tales with the author’s illustrations and reflections on Earth Medicine. Raven, Bear and other animal figures become ways of considering relationships with the natural world and the tension between light and darkness.

Grace draws inspiration from Norwegian and Native American folklore while creating her own stories. The book also includes spiritual exercises, dream interpretation, prayers and meditations intended to encourage a closer relationship with the Earth.

These are Grace’s contemporary interpretations, not a collection presented as authoritative traditional teaching for all Native American communities. Earth Medicine here is spiritual practice, not medical treatment. ISBN: 9781620558140.
