Sacred Woman
If you want a sense of your true role and power as a woman get this book. This book is excellent for those like myself who have had certain teachings from young regarding African culture and rites. Nana Afua has written for all women but I feel your will grasp it immediately and see the benefits more easily if your view of the world is not just mainstream teachings. I picked up this book because I needed healing and it has done and is still doing that she offers some excellent tools.

I can't pra If you want a sense of your true role and power as a woman get this book. I can't praise her enough. The book can also be used as a rites of passage for young women.

Watch life change when you embrace the guidance offered in this wonderful offering of a book. Aug 07, Felicia rated it liked it Recommends it for: This has to be taken with a grain or two of salt.

There is a lot of wisdom within these pages, but it is very hard to disseminate at one sitting, without overload or unconsciousous resistance to what is written The idea of the Goddess is presented in a new view which does cause one to step back and reflect. This is not the end all definitive work, but a very informative view that should be considered and not dismissed.

This book can be a challenge for the novice readers especially if you are unfamiliar with many of the ancient teachings and customs she discusses, however a journey of awareness requires change. This is a book I recommend to all of my sisters who seek an awakening! Aug 01, Isis Nakia rated it it was amazing. This book revealed to me how food has such an impact on us on so many different levels. I also learned how to further embrace my feminity and divinity. Aug 10, Nicole rated it really liked it. I never thought I would return to this book after my young twenties where I was decidedly a vegetarian.
I never read this book straigh through but its a great resource for food cures of common women's ailments. Hoping for baby 2 so I'm back to Castor oil packs and cayenne pepper flushes. Queen Afua knows her stuff. Jun 12, Jani Akilah rated it really liked it. Dec 31, Ebprl7 rated it it was amazing.

May 19, Hayley rated it liked it. I wanted to write a brief review of this book that I was kindly lent by a friend as I work with divine feminine energy so knew I would be interested in this book and as soon as I saw it I was quite excited to read it.
Having finished it, I have mixed feelings about this book. As with most books of this nature, I believe you should take from it what resonates with you and what doesn't. There was stuff in this book that didn't resonate with me at all- for instance it didn't feel right to me to say t I wanted to write a brief review of this book that I was kindly lent by a friend as I work with divine feminine energy so knew I would be interested in this book and as soon as I saw it I was quite excited to read it. There was stuff in this book that didn't resonate with me at all- for instance it didn't feel right to me to say that the healthiest period would only last one day or less, and also I found some of the suggestions went quite far like suggesting women shouldn't really wear trousers as they constrict the womb.
Also a few times my feminist self was a bit irritated with the requirements of the 'beauty' session especially being well groomed all the time? We're all allowed some downtime now and again! But I also understand this book was wrote from the perspective of a different tradition than myself and also a different cultural aspect, as I appreciate this was written with African women especially in mind, which was also interesting to read, as often books of this nature that are in the mainstream are written by white women so this was a refreshing change.
However there was also some very excellent ideas in this book that I am starting to implement and also use in my women's group. Womb Journaling, asking questions to your womb I found really enlightening and other exercises are very profound and I will be returning to these again and again: Jul 02, Empress Yana rated it it was amazing. Meeting the author and reading this book totally changed my life.

Most spiritual and goddess-oriented books focus on the perspective of ancient Europe and white women, taking looks into a history that is not necessarily shared by all women. While these books provide valuable information, sometimes you desire a book that was written by someone like you, for you specifically in mind.

With love, wisdom, and passion, Queen Afua guides us to accept our mission and our mantle as Sacred Women—to heal ourselves, the generations of women in our families, our communities, and our world.
