WARRIOR
GODDESS TRAINING:
Become
the Woman You Are Meant to Be
by
HeatherAsh Amara (Author), don Miguel Ruiz (Foreword)
Paperback:
191 pages
Publisher:
Hierophant Publishing (September 1, 2014)
List
Price: $18.95
FROM
THE PUBLISHER:
The Path
to Your Inner Warrior Goddess--
It's
no secret that women today are juggling a lot. We now make up more
than half the workforce in the United States and are busier than ever
with partners, children, family and friends, often putting the needs
of others ahead of our own.
And
if we feel overwhelmed by it all or fall short of perfection, many of
us have learned to be our own worst critic rather than our own best
friend. In
Warrior Goddess Training, bestselling author HeatherAsh Amara
provides the antidote to the flawed idea that you are not enough.
Direct,
honest, and unapologetic, Amara will show you how to release the
layers of expectations to finally see yourself for the authentic,
perceptive, perfect woman you really are.
If
you don't love and honor yourself with every fiber of your being, if
you struggle with owning your power and passion, if you could use
more joyful play and simple presence in your life, then it is time
for an inner revolution.
It
is time to claim your Warrior Goddess energy.
Drawing
on the wisdom from Buddhism, Toltec wisdom, and ancient Earth-based
goddess spirituality, the Warrior Goddess path includes personal
stories, rituals, and exercises that will encourage and inspire you
to become the true warrior goddess you are meant to be.
Reviews
"Sisters,
it's time to shed the 'shoulds,' see ourselves through our own eyes
instead of others', and close the gap between wishing for and
realizing once and for all who we came here to be. No one shows you
how to walk this journey with courage and compassionate
self-acceptance better than gifted teacher HeatherAsh Amara"
--Stephanie Bennett Vogt, author of Your Spacious Self
"HeatherAsh
Amara is your coach and impeccable teacher in the life-ceremony
offered in this book." --Ana Forrest, bestselling author of
Fierce Medicine and founder of Forrest Yoga
"This
is a book for all women, no matter their age or stage of life.
HeatherAsh Amara is a master teacher who embodies the concepts of
warrior and goddess in her life and writing… Each lesson she
presents offers insight and practices for spiritual, physical,
intellectual, and psychological growth" --Judith Yost, Dean of
Students, Wisdom School of Graduate Studies and author of Nature and
Intimacy
"In
Warrior Goddess Training, HeatherAsh Amara shares her experience as a
teacher, friend, and guide, helping a new generation of women enter
their own journey of inner transformation." --don Miguel Ruiz,
author of The Four Agreements

step-by-step instructions for spells, magic, and prayers for
practical results and long-term goals, including money, love, sex,
healing, legal issues, protection, and more. La Santa Muerte also

Praise:
"Tomás
Prower takes those curious to know more about the spirit of death
taking shape as La Santa Muerte on a deep ride through history,
tradition, folklore and first hand experience. He deftly balances the
aspects of practical folk magick . . . with the deeper mystery
tradition of her cult involved in facing the reality of death
directly. A wonderful education in a figure that is fairly unknown
and misunderstood."—Christopher Penczak, co-founder of the
Temple of Witchcraft

UNCOMMONSENSE
TAROT
Tarot
readings by Erica (Raven) Branch-Butler~
"I've
been reading Tarot for more than thirty years, and reading
professionally at the Edge for a decade. My belief is that Tarot is
best used for putting you in touch with your own subconscious,
allowing you to make healthy decisions that can change your life for
the better. My readings tend to be rather commonsensical. They are
often geared toward helping the client deal with the often
self-imposed obstacles in their lives in a healthy, self –affirming
way, so that they can achieve their goals and fully enjoy the fruits
that life has to bring."
Please
inquire about Tarot Parties, classes and other events.
