Women are never told how important our wombs are and this book is a winner for me for that reason alone. Understanding how to feed yourself for wellness and how to support your womb is priceless. I think the greatest benefit of the book/program is learning about your body. I know for Christians, the altars with images of other people can feel like idol worship, but you don't have to do that.
You can reap the benefits of Sacred Woman without doing the gateway work with crystals and stones if that makes you uncomfortable. Overall, I did learn a lot and I enjoyed several of the recipes in her book. I don't know if I can credit this system and a plant-based diet, but my period did lighten over time. My cramps were always pretty mild, so that was easy, but I had long heavy periods that made life unbearable. I stopped relying on pain relievers and learned to manage cramps with teas and herbs. I think the best takeaway for me, was that I became much more intuned to my body. I would go to bed early so that I could wake up early, which I actually liked. I bought all of the stones/crystals, cloth, and altar objects, and started eating a vegan diet. Reflect on your day so you can have a better day the next day.I bought this book back in the early 2000s to join a healing circle at my school, but I ended up not participating with them and going it alone - which the book doesn't advise. The hours of 4-6 pm in the afternoon are your time to retreat, get centered, and practice self-care. Write that book early in the morning! The middle of the day is when you are making things happen. For example, 4-6 am is a great time to receive a vision. “How much time do we have on this planet? How productive are you with your time? I also go into detail about why we should get into the habit of following the sun and the type of energy that brings us. The first new chapter “talks about what happens when you’re out of attunement with time,” Afua says. Afua responds to those changes with the inclusion of two new chapters covering the topics of time and purpose: “Seshat (Sacred Time)” and “Meshkenet (Sacred Work).” In the 20 years since “Sacred Woman” was first published, a lot has changed. “I wanted to celebrate the 20th anniversary of a book that has meant so much to so many women,” Queen Afua says.
