- Really weird, even for me.
I think part of the reason I hated this book was because of the foul language, I guess trying to "reclaim" some words so that they can no longer hurt us. Ugh. But truly, it's the just plain cliche hippie-ness of it. I mean, come ON. There are way more accessible books out there on women's health, and even on learning to be comfortable with being a woman and overcoming patriarchy. Birthing From Within, anything by Christiane Northrup, Our Bodies Ourselves, and on and on. PLUS, there was little ... Read More

- Dangerous misinformation
I've had quite a bit of experience in and around both western scientific first aid (and I'm working on having at least some experience in EMS) and herbalism, as well as a bit of energetic healing with Ki in the Aikido tradition thanks to my mother.

- Hmm...Peyote Suppositories and LSD for Babies? Like Far Out? Like OH NO!
Here, presented in a gentle Earth mother (or stoned-out hippie?) tone, is a lot of interesting information about self-medicating with herbs, especially as related to sexual, pregnancy and birth issues.

However, am I the only one bothered because the author not only promotes combining sexual activity and psychedelic drug use, but specifically suggests that some pregnant mothers-to-be consider ingesting LSD so they can "trip out" with their fetuses?

Here is the author's quote about ... Read More

- Manual for truly living in the Feminine
I first received this book as a gift in the early 80's from a wonderful free spirit living on the beach. I was so attracted to this wild woman who seemed to be the exact opposite of all that culture expected me to be. I remember sitting in the beach over several days reading it cover to cover... it was as if I was spending my days with an old friend. I could feel something within my deepest being becoming awake, aware... My intuition told me to hold fast to my copy which I read many times over the years. I ... Read More
