4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting look at menstruation and magick, July 6, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Red Moon: Understanding and Using the Gifts of the Menstrual Cycle (Women's Health and Parenting) (Paperback)

Miranda Gray has created a fascinating resource for woman. This book is empowering and full of folklore and mythology about women's menstrual cycles. All women should read this book. It clears up some of the mystique surrounding menstruation and yet makes it a magical time for women

A friend recommended this book and I have found it very interesting for all women of all ages to read. I believe that men will also benefit as they might gain a better understanding of the cicles of a woman and how these can affect her moods.

This review is from: Red Moon: Understanding and Using the Gifts of the Menstrual Cycle (Women's Health and Parenting) (Paperback)

The author twists stories and traditions to meet her perspective with no regard for their original meaning, yet claiming that her misinterpretations are the original meanings. One example (of many) is her feminization of the maypole, a rather obviously phallic symbol. This book seems to be a feminist revisionism with little regard to fact. It IS possible to cite facts accurately and still be empowering to women, which this author does not do. She cites no sources for her far-fetched inventions, not surprisingly. I would recommend Lara Owen's book _Honoring Menstruation_ for a more accurate, empowering book.
