Bøger af Mary Lane

"Mary Lane has crafted a beautiful tale, weaving the ancient times when women were revered for their wisdom, healing and priestessing roles, to a modern day woman, seeking her purpose. We recognize ourselves in this story of Meena, as she rebels, resists, and discovers her path, which parallels the older story of a priestess's journey to accept her leadership role in the community. It's a message for today's women to lean into that role of priestess/spiritual leader, however that may look for each of us." Kris Steinnes, founder Women of Wisdom Foundation Author of the award winning book -Women of Wisdom, Empowering the Dreams and Spirit of Women"Mary Lane holds us captive from the first word to the last as the story reassembles a shattered mirror of remembering for our souls. I dare say it was magical to feel my own body/heart as I read it. The juxtaposing of these feminine tales in time and place offer us a chalice to drink from and be transformed by. Thank you, Mary, for listening deeply enough, and for luring us back into our innate Earth wisdom and feminine ways of health, beauty, and relationality." Jade Sherer, nature-based soul guide"A page-turning powerhouse - destined to be a movie. Meena will grip you and take you on a journey of cosmic proportion. Mary Lane's description of a life lived in harmony with the natural world, and the union of a fully realized male and female, is breathtaking. It wakes up a part of us that needs to remember this possibility. This book took me to my core and touched a deep longing for connection." Amara Pagano, founder Azul Conscious Movement"Mary Lane clearly draws from her personal experience as a plant spirit healer and shaman, as she presents a portrait of loss of soul and its recovery. She weaves a gripping tale which balances interesting and vivid details with the big picture of why we are all here on this planet. Among the many quotable passages in the book, my favorite is 'The door was opened by the unsuspecting gatekeepers who had come for their own healing.'" Robert K Dubiel past-life regressionist and author of The Practical Shaman

This book fictionalizes a true series of events in the late puritan Connecticut River valley through the French and Indian Wars in upstate New York until after the American Revolution in the new settlements.It follows several main characters:¿ An unwed mother who pursues justice with uncommon family support¿ Amorously wayward sons of "River Gods"¿ Colonial militia men¿ Brilliant theologian Jonathan Edwards¿ Dynamic-but-depressed revolutionary attorney Joseph Hawley¿ A Mohican/Mohawk sachem;and the diverse and complex communities that produced them.The central controversies animating these stories were religion versus town turmoil and transformations, particularly a prominent fornication case (not unusual in this period), a refusal to acknowledge paternity and church authority (against law and evidence), excommunication, and the intriguing consequences.Weaving through a century of time and towns, the book is the product of extensive research and incorporates archaeology, artifacts, history, primary source documents, sociology, psychology, law, religion, and other disciplines into the stories. Painstaking research was conducted for historic accuracy of both actual facts and persons, as well as the minutiae of 18th century life.
