Book Reviews
I could barely put this book down! I was immediately drawn into Kayla's words and experiences. This book showed me I wasn't alone in my pandemic blues, and Kayla was able to put words to many of the same thoughts and feelings I had. A great read, with engaging photos. Highly recommended! - Kate on Pandemic BluesI thoroughly enjoyed this book! I love the artwork and how it goes along with the readings. It was empowering, and beautiful, giving an honest portrayal of the fem experience. Highly recommend! - Kaileigh Otsuka on Laphrodite's Guide to Mindful Menopause
This book is a true gem for both experienced tarot readers and beginners. Unlike a standard guide to tarot card meanings, this small and very readable volume adds a lot of context to tarot as a historical divination tool that adapts itself to modern-day readers. A delightful and informative book! - Lana Tyehimba on Journey Through the Tarot: An Integrated System for Holistic Healing
Wonderful absolutely wonderful. Historically time and patterns repeat like the ancient art of storytelling, sitting around the campfire or the evening fireplace with full bellies and listening to the storyteller ( the elders), it's a love message of I believe in you and I unconditionally love you too... This delightful book should be read to not only children, teens, and young adults but also middle-aged adults who want to remember dear loved ones or want to find a heart grandmother or grandfather. Thank you Kayla Nona - Janice Carr on Grandma's Got Tattoos
