AWAKENING THE PLANETARY MIND
“Compulsive, compelling, and authoritative. An important addition to our
understanding of ancient catastrophes and their impact on human
consciousness. Essential reading for the alternative prehistorian.”
Andrew Collins, author of Gateway to Atlantis and From the Ashes of Angels
“Between lines of text exists an unseen world. Barbara Hand Clow, with her
inimitable ability, peered into this world with laserlike vision and has thrust
it before us in a way that cannot be ignored. As an engineer who is
grounded in three-dimensional reality, Awakening the Planetary Mind reads
between my lines with insight and clarity.”
Christopher Dunn, author of The Giza Power Plant
“It takes a mind versed in interdisciplinary studies to fully understand,
integrate, reassemble, and then accurately teach this complex subject.
Barbara has that kind of mind. And her detective work is conveyed
admirably.”
Freddy Silva, researcher, photographer, and author of Common Wealth
“In Awakening the Planetary Mind, Barbara Hand Clow, with a perceptive
voice, invites us to explore the unknown crevices of the past through her
uncommon spiritual eye.”
Rand Flem-Ath, author of When the Sky Fell
“I find this book mind-expanding, provocative, and offering an important
contribution to our self-understanding as a species, especially as we face
important decisions in these critical times.”
Matthew Fox, author of Original Blessing
“Grandmother Sky (Barbara Hand Clow) has captured the essence of
Mother Earth as a living energy within the Universal Circle in Awakening
the Planetary Mind. The book reveals some universal dynamics that help us
understand our connection to the past here on Turtle Island. We can truly
learn from the past that we have the ability to change and to begin again.”
J. T. Garrett, Ed.D., M.P.H., member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee from
North Carolina and author of The Cherokee Herbal and Meditations with the

CKNOWLEDGMENTS
I honor my Celtic/Cherokee grandfather, Gilbert Hand, for his teachings and
wisdom, which are bearing fruit fifty years later. He instructed me in the oral
tradition of ancient civilizations by guiding me through the mythological,
archaeological, and geological sources when I was age five through seventeen.
His Cherokee mother passed the Cherokee Records to him, and then he passed
these teachings to me. Grandfather Hand was also a thirty-second-degree Mason,
and I will never know which of his teachings are Cherokee or Masonic, or both.
Thank you, Grandmother Mabel Austen Hand, for the songs and stories of the
Celtic people.
Thank you, J. T. Garrett, Hunbatz Men, Alberto Ruiz Buenfil, Don Alejandro
Oxlac, White Eagle Tree, Heyoka Merrifield, Abdel Hakim, Frank Aon, Sam
Kaai, and Felicitas Goodman for knowing the medicine and sharing it so
graciously with me.
My greatest joy while writing this book was working with the illustrator,
Christopher Cudahy Clow, who is my third son. Thank you, Hampshire College
in Amherst, Massachusetts, for the first exhibit of these illustrations for his
senior project in May 1999. The edge of joy has also been the edge of sorrow: In
1998 my second son (Chris’s older brother), Matthew Clow, drowned in Lower
Red Rock Lake near Dillon, Montana. Chris encouraged me to keep writing, and
his artwork also helped him with his sorrow. Chris, the illustrations are beautiful!
Thank you, D. S. Allan and J. B. Delair, for writing Cataclysm! Compelling
Evidence of a Cosmic Catastrophe in 9500 BC, and for your assistance with this
book; and J. B. Delair, I am deeply honored by your foreword. Thank you,
anonymous donor, for the illustrations, since your generosity enabled Chris to do
more than we had originally planned. I also am very grateful for the work of
Anne Dillon and Jeanie Levitan at Bear & Company, for their careful and
meticulous attention to detail, as well as the wonderful work done by copy editor
Judy Stein. And thank you to Peri Swan, whose cover design I love, and to the
book’s designer, Priscilla Baker.
Thank you, Gerry Clow, for all your editorial work. You really helped me
clarify my thoughts, and I am still writing because you always help me.
