While traveling in Mexico, Abelar became involved with a group of sorcerers and began a rigorous physical and mental training process designed to enable her to breach the limits of ordinary perception. The Sorcerers Crossing details that process, giving us a highly practical sense of the responsibilities and perils that face a woman sorcerer. Abelars enthralling story is invaluable as a virtual sorcerers manual, as anthropology, and as a provocative work of womens spirituality.
