Moolynaut passed away in early Dec, 2011. For those of you who read, The Raven's Gift, she was the Koryak healer who helped me mend my pelvis. She was born during the reign of Czar Nicholas II, in a near Stone Age existence, and is probably one of the last of the aboriginal Siberian shamans. We all morn her passing, but it was inevitable, just as the sun rises and the seasons change. Along with our sadness it is important to keep the ancient wisdoms alive in this internet crazed, oil soaked world.
