Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

We liked the author's concept of beauty - that it is a healing, innate quality - not a quality reserved for a few select people. And beauty worn on the pulse points of the body, with special gems and stones and colors, can energize the healing qualities within us. This is ancient wisdom come alive again, espcially for women. It's a must read for spiritual growth.

From the Author

My purpose is to empower women through beautiful, mystical, mythical jewelry. I became really clear about that when I became a Crone (Wise/Wild Woman over 50) and I accepted the challenge to heal myself and others through beautiful jewelry linked to myth and legend. The very idea that something so powerful (beauty/jewelry) has been reduced to a mere silly ego bauble is just another way to denegrate the power of womyn through ridicule and misinformation. Legend and myth are powerful. They are unbelievably healing when wed to beauty and worn on the body as an adornment. Beauty is a power to be reckoned with. I believe womyn must regain their power to save this planet from disintegration by the warrior types. I'm not asking much of my jewelry - just that it heal every womyn and save the world!

This review is from: Legends of the Stones (Paperback)

Elaine's book has been both fun to read and inspirational. My studies in "Legends of the Stones" have taken me through many different thought processes, enabling me to enjoy those aspects of myself that have been either tucked away by accident or hidden from others. Again, I hear the beat of the drum and the singing of my soul. Thank you, Elaine, for the awakening.

I loved this book! I found it to be not only informative but a true celebration of the marriage of beauty and power. Women have been drawn to and decorated with gems throughout the ages and Elaine enlightens us and gives our fascination for these stones and jewels a new rich meaning. Her presentation of this great ancient wisdom touches deeply the wise women of today.

This is a great book! I find it useful as a reference for so many day to day regimes. The ancient practices brought out in this book can be incorporated into your personal & business routines.

We used the 40 Day Goddess Wealth Pilgrimage in our ladies group & found it very beneficial to our progress.

Dr. Sonne has such as vast knowledge and personal wisdom that she shares throughout the book. I would recommend it to women that are looking to expand their knowledge. This book is a wonderful gift for any goddess.
