A bold reclamation of women's sacred authority, returning to the fiery, instinctual healing power rooted in the body.
Noble grounds her work in prehistoric archaeology, examining ancient menstrual calendar bones and cave art to illuminate women's ancestral lineage as healers. The text provides an experiential handbook for reclaiming the body as an instrument of spiritual knowing.
These chapters trace practical pathways through trance journeying, dream incubation, and astrology, linking bodily cycles to planetary renewal. The volume offers a grounded framework for transforming trauma through ritual and community healing.
From the author of the classic Motherpeace – an inspiring and practical guide for awakening women's shamanic healing powers to heal ourselves and our planet.
