Description

Psychedelic Mysteries of the Feminine Creativity, Ecstasy, and Healing This book explores the connections between feminine consciousness and altered states, from ancient times to the present day. It delves into the feminine qualities of the psychedelic self, ancient female roots of shamanism, and how altered states tap into the female archetype. The book examines the transformative powers of feminine consciousness and altered states, revealing the insights of contributors who are both female and male, including scholars, artists, anthropologists, shamans, witches, psychotherapists, and policy makers. It looks at the archetypal dimensions of the feminine principle, the role of women in ancient rites, and the similarities between giving birth and taking mind-altering drugs. Through its exploration of psychedelic and embodied paths to ecstasy, this book offers a unique perspective on the connections between the human experience and the natural world.
