She basically goes on some journey. She has a guide, not sure if it&#8217;s a familiar or a spirit guide, but it&#8217;s a snow leopard that she can talk to. She does battle with a figure of Kali, and Kali bites her hand off. I remember the description of Kali&#8217;s foul, rotten breath. Then she sort of manifests a spirit hand. I remember that she treats someone for a fever, and imagines pulling the fever out through the top of the person&#8217;s head and rolling it like a ball of yarn. She doesn&#8217;t know what to do with it, if she throws it away it might find another person. So she crushes it in her spirit hand. &nbsp; It&#8217;s a lot of specific information but I&#8217;ve never been able to find it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wonder if you could help me find a book.&nbsp; &nbsp; It&#8217;s one I read as a teenager, but it could have been older than that (I&#8217;m 40).
