Thanks Meg — I’ll definitely check them out. The book sounds super. It’s time to take back the second half of our lives, and while we’re at it, to re-establish the value of the second half of the Life Cycle. Thanks again for your comment!

My life was a bit chaotic at the time but 8 yrs later I bought the book … & found it so inspiring. I’m now in an online wisdom circle …with women 60 – 92yrs & 1 man from the USA & Canada…uplifting..& I learn so much from their ‘being’ & life experience. ‘Sage-ing International’ is the organisation.

Thanks for your comment, Melita. You’re right – there is always so much to learn, and I’m finding, lately, that for me it all keeps pointing in spine-tingling-ly (just made that word up) related directions.

I’m a bit late to the party in reading it but I found it thought provoking and eye opening. For me, this article made a connection between horrific events that I knew something about (the witch hunts) and how patriarchal society came about. Of course that’s how white Christian men came to dominate the world! My other realization was that the burnings effectively burned the bridge (or at least the bridge with the most traffic) which carried these predominantly feminine widsoms and practices forwards into our Western World.
I really enjoyed this one Kate. I’m off to learn more about menopausal whales. There really is so much to learn in the world, it’s a fascinating place!
