Historia
Medea, daughter of King Aeetes of Colchis, longs for a different life. Since childhood, she has been separated from her sister, shunned by her mother, and beaten and tormented by her brother and father. All because Medea was born with a unique and seemingly dangerous talent: witchcraft. But when a dashing young hero, Jason, arrives to claim the famed Golden Fleece that her father fiercely protects, Medea sees her opportunity for escape.

Disappointing
Revisado: 04-19-25
As an author I would normally never leave a bad review of a book but I wish I could get the hours of my life back I spent here. It was such a missed opportunity to actually dive into the psyche of Medea’s trauma and her torment. It could have been a reclamation of power and an exploration of victim, villain and Victor consciousness.Instead it stays so on the surface and skates quickly over the anecdotes where there could have been so much more richness. It read like a chronological timeline rather than SHOWING us her power, her magic, and just kept me wanting at each turn. Sorry, but there are much better modern mythological takes…

Historia
Drawing on modern scholarship, the authors of the international best-seller The Jesus Mysteries decode the secret teachings of the original Christians for the first time in almost two millennia and theorize about who the original Christians really were and what they actually taught. In addition, the book explores the many myths of Jesus and the Goddess and unlocks the lost secret teachings of Christian mysticism, which promise happiness and immortality to those who attain the state of Gnosis, or enlightenment.

Historia
As Indigenous scientist and author of Braiding Sweetgrass Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity.

Braiding sweetgrass is one of my all time favorite books, this felt similar but like such a tiny tasty morsel. I hope we get another, longer love letter and hymn to the earth again soon

Got me as good as ACOTAR
Revisado: 03-13-25
I DEVOURED all 3 books in a week. The slow burn is such a good tease, and I liked the totally different plot line and realms in this book! Wish the 4th one was out already!

Was hoping for acotar equivalent
Revisado: 02-28-25
I love the richness of the seasonal courts, and yet I was surprisingly hooked on this story. I finished it in 3 days and immediately got the second one. Unexpectedly addicting. It didn’t feel particularly involved or detailed where it could have been in so many places, yet I found myself loving it and wanting more.

Enjoyed this book so much! Almost like my absolute favorite braiding sweetgrass, but indigenous Celtic tales. It was so good I signed up for her course!

Historia
Who changed the sex of God? This groundbreaking book proposes that the rise of alphabetic literacy reconfigured the human brain and brought about profound changes in history, religion, and gender relations. Making remarkable connections across brain function, myth, and anthropology, Dr. Shlain shows why pre-literate cultures were principally informed by holistic, right-brain modes that venerated the Goddess, images, and feminine values.

MY FAVORITE BOOK OF ALL TIME
Revisado: 01-03-25
The fact that I’m mentioned as an author similar to Leonard Schlain is giving me life. This book fundamentally transformed my mind and work in the world. I’ve read so much on the topic and learned more NEW information in this single source than I have in many others combined. He was the chief of surgery where I was treated for a horrible childhood injury and I only wish to I’d known to be able to connect with him. I quote and credit these pages in my own so often. I recommend this book to everyone

Awful
Revisado: 07-14-24
I wanted to like this book so much. I love dragons, it would have been incredible to get into it, but the cheesy writing AND narration are just intolerable. The dialogue is so unrealistic and felt like a mockery, plus it took WAYYY too long to even get to something interesting. I tried so many times to keep going but simply couldn’t

If you’re seeking spiritual community read spiritually we! This book is thorough AND approachable. Backed by science and full of beautiful personal anecdotes from a seriously well spiritually studied sassy queen. I learned so much about navigating my own wounds in friendship and partnership and am so grateful Sah read it himself as his voice is so melodic and he’s hilarious so you really get to feel him throughout.

20 years later I’m still enthralled in Tammy’s stories!
Revisado: 03-22-24
I read the Alanna and Daine books as a kid over and over even still going back to them every once in a while to hone my animal communication skills or Lu healing gift and they never disappoint. I wasn’t sure anything would be able to follow them but I found myself unable to stop listening to this book even twenty years after I first read the others!
