5.0 out of 5 stars A powerful book.
I’ve followed Felicia’s work for awhile now and was so so SO excited to see her book being published. I got it less than a week ago and i’ve read every single page. The imagery in this book is jaw dropping, i couldn’t put it down. It feels so intentional and grounded, i feel her in the pages. It’s just so special!In some ways it feels like im holding a spell book for healing and wisdom. I too am an indigenous healer (about half her age) and reading, in print, her story of living in the middle of being was just so relatable and inspiring. I wish to one day gain the knowledge of curanderas and maybe become one myself but have always felt too “americanized” to be taken seriously.My indigenous ancestors were lost to spanish colonialism and most of my living relatives are quite out of touch with their indigenous roots. However I hear and feel our ancestors begging to be heard by others. I feel it’s my life mission to channel their voices and this book just really hit home with that.So thank you, maestra, thank you for sharing yourself with me and the world.Buy this book to be inspired to come back home to your roots, whatever they might be ♥️
5.0 out of 5 stars This Book is an absolute treasure!
I have many herbal books in my library, but THIS one feeds my soul!!!! I love that she has recipes for nourishing drinks and foods as well as herbal remedies. Her recipes are different from the norm…..yet still call for many herbs I have on hand or can be easily gathered. At the back of the book, she lists those ingredients that may be more difficult for someone like me who resides in Northern California. The way she organized her work too is lovely and inspirational. Lastly, the photos are breathtaking and after you have perused her book, one feels like she has been transported to a magical world and spent the afternoon with warm breath and healing delights.
5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book!
I have a lot of herbals because I make and sell herbal skin care products, and grow herbs. This book is a wonderful addition. Not only are their great recipes and formulas here that I would have no problem recommending, but the book itself is beautiful, the perspective is a welcome blend of deep wisdom born of experience and awareness, love of Earth, and a feeling of comfort and well-being.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Entry Point for Healing
I love this book for many different reasons. I like how it's divided into the four elements and Felicia offers simple and easy recipes and herbal remedies for beginners like me. I feel like this book is a great entry point into reconnecting with nature and its elements and teaches the reader how to respect nature, be with the seasons, and learn that less is more (you'll note that many of the recipes and remedies use less than 10 ingredients and the processing steps are minimal). I respect the author's roots as an indigenous curandera and appreciate her personal journey of how she learned to interweave other healing modalities, like Ayurveda, as she grew and learned in the process. She returns to her family and ancestral ways and is so giving to her readers. You can feel her joy and her sacred love of the earth and her ancestors. As a woman of Northern European descent, I appreciate her teachings and this book has helped me seek out ways I can connect with the land I live on (upper Midwest) and inspires me to learn more about the earth elements and reconnect with my ancestors. As I mentioned earlier, this is a great book for beginners who want to learn more about herbal remedies from a teacher who is walking her path with intention.
5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful and Beautiful
This book is Beautifully written! The ancestral love and power comes through in the recipes, wisdom and remedies. I’m so grateful to have this book to help me better take care of my family with Indigenous ways.
5.0 out of 5 stars What a gorgeous book!
The book is beautiful, the images and words soothe the soul. The pages are so thick and luscious. So glad I purchased it. Wish I could be best friends with the author.
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful
Such a beautiful book, the pictures are gorgeous and I've made a few of the recipes already, the agua frescas are delicious. I would recommend this to anyone thats looking to make some self care items for themselves (there's recipes for foot scrubs, hair wash, bath soaks among other things) or just open to trying something new.
Beautiful book
I bought this book for a friend but the write up made me curious, so I bought myself a copy too. Full of suggestions on how to use simple ingredients provided by nature
