Antoinette Pienaar

The Griqua's Apprentice (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

When Afrikaans singer and actress Antoinette Pienaar first stood before renowned Griqua healer Oom Johannes Willemse, he said: 'So you have arrived here at last, Juffrou!' For almost forty years Oom Johannes had been dreaming of a woman in a red bakkie to whom he would transfer his knowledge - knowledge passed from grandfather to grandson since the dawn of time. After a seven-year apprenticeship, Antoinette now writes about the healing powers of Karoo herbs. About how they can move you - for Oom Johannes's approach heals not only body, but also soul. In The Griqua's Apprentice you hear the warm voice of Antoinette as thousands of people have come to know it on radio and on stage. With insight and empathy, and always ready with an anecdote, she shares her knowledge and Oom Johannes's wisdom compassionately and wholly. Enriched with photographs, stories, advice and indices, The Griqua's Apprentice is as much a reference as it is a storybook.

Autorenporträt

Antoinette Pienaar is in Carnarvon as een van vyf dogters gebore en het aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch 'n graad in drama behaal. Daarna het sy 'n loopbaan as sangeres gevolg met landwye optredes waarin sy dikwels historiese heldinne, soos Krotoa van die Kaap, besing het. Die afgelope sewentien jaar is sy vakleerling van oom Johannes Willemse diep in die berge van die Karoo. Oom Johannes Willemse is op die plaas Breekkierie in die Kenhardt-distrik as die oudste van twaalf kinders gebore. Hy het saam met sy broers en hulle pa, 'n stukwerkman, van plaas tot plaas gehelp walle stoot, ploeg, klipkrale bou en putte grawe. In die veld by die skaap het sy oupa Hansie hom die Griekwas se kennis van genesing begin leer. Deur 'n lewe van harde, gesonde arbeid heen het hy talle mense met die kennis van die veld se helingskuns behandel.
