The beauty and mystery of the Whirling Dervishes have captured the mythic imagination of the Western world for centuries Rumi, the great Sufi saint of 13th-century Turkey, taught both male and female students this whirling dance, but in the centuries after his death, women were excluded from participation. Not until the late 1970s, when Shaikh Suleyman Dede brought the turn ritual to America, was this practice again opened to women. Women Called to the Path of Rumi is the first English-language book of its kind. It:

* outlines the history of the women who have followed this way since Rumi's time.

* illuminates the transmission of this work from Turkey to America

* highlights the first 20 years of the order's life in a new country and culture

* describes the viewpoint of the participant rather than the observer
At the heart of the book are personal interviews with more than two dozen American initiates-- from adolescents to wise eldersÑmany of whom have practiced on this path for over 15 years. The brilliant illustrations and photographs present dynamic images of women turning in Sema (the formal Mevlevi ritual) and whirling spontaneously in Zikr, the Sufi gathering of prayer and music. Quatrains of Rumi from many modern translators are interspersed throughout the text..

Anna can't see her feet; in fact, she can't see any part of her body. What she can see are large, richly carved wooden canoes filled with heavily armored knights or are they Spanish Conquistadors? Whoever they are, they are far from home, sailing rapidly towards a foreign shore amid angry rolling waves. High on the shore in a thick grove of trees, Anna sees something else. Two large brown eyes stare intensely then blink and disappear into the leaves. It doesn't take Anna long to realize she is once again on an assignment. But where is she? And who or what was that in the tree? Because the eyes in the trees weren't staring at the men in the canoes, they were staring at her. So begins another adventure with Anna and Alex as they travel together to a strange land in search of Anna's next assignment.
