The Bone Woman was a shamanic figure, an avatar. She would receive guidance by throwing the bones and she was intimate with Death... for no-one would ever take on the role of the Bone Woman without experiencing Death and returning. Her wisdom was the wisdom of one who had traveled through birth and life and death and everything in between... she had to have been a mother and lost a lover or child... she had to have come near to her own death and survived. This made her a powerful teacher for the living and an astute "death doula" for those preparing to make their final passage. Her constant rapport with Death strengthened her joy and the Bone Woman was often heard to be singing and laughing and no- one danced as freely or wildly as she... Bless your hearth or the hearth of someone you love with Bone Woman!
