"If you open Ix Chel Wisdom a crack, you will hear the whisper of women sighing and singing. If you dare to read it, you will be swept up in an astonishing inner adventure that will empower you deeply. The Wise Woman Way spirals in these messages. The words of the Grandmother’s song echo in Shonagh’s words. The cloak of the Ancients is being rewoven with sturdy threads such as these. Join hands with the circle of women!"
~ Susun S. Weed, author New Menopausal Years the Wise Woman Way

"I have been fascinated with the Mayan goddess, Ix Chel, since my visit to the island of Tres Mujeres in my early twenties. What a pleasure to discover her again in Shonagh’s book, her essence inspiring us to claim our personal power, to connect to the Divine, and to access our intuition and wisdom. This book is written from the author's experiences and is filled with rich stories and encouragement. Every woman should read it!"
~ Carolyn Conger, PhD, Spiritual Teacher

"I absolutely love the way Shonagh brings home the message that being female is so much more than the stereotypical surface images we receive in our culture. The reason why this book is so powerful is because it ties all of us to the ancient wisdom passed down by a lineage of strong and loving grandmothers, dating back to Mayan civilization. Shonagh brings those messages to life for us in this century, when we so badly need to embrace our beautiful femininity.
            Can you imagine how much our world would be transformed, if we women truly learn to value ourselves and our bodies at a deep, magical level? By following the principles in Shonagh's book, we can -- one step at a time.
            For me, this is the paragraph that sums up Shonagh's work so well: 'The evolved feminine walks the path of beauty. She regards herself and all life as sacred. She is sovereign unto herself -- she's not enslaved or anyone's fool. She relies upon her intuition and wisdom. She is connected directly to Source and is aware of her connection to all things above and below. She seeks the truth and embodies wisdom, healing, and service to the Divine. Expression and and expansion of the energies that honor all life are found within her. This is the feminine I hope to see expressed around the world. She is sorely needed at this time.'
            I want some of that! If you do, too, please read this book."

"What a joy to read your book.  I was truly touched by your journey.  When you received your initiation and baptism in the cave, I felt as if I was right there with you.  Your willingness to share such sacred personal moments (and others throughout the book) is a testament to your desire to empower other women. Through the teachings of Ix Chel, and your own personal experiences, you transmit, and passionately inspire us to remember, and reclaim the natural beauty of our earth-body, and the divine wisdom that dwells within every woman's heart.  A rich offering to empower the spirit of women!"

"Shonagh weaves her personal journey and spiritual teachers with Ix Chel's transmissions beautifully. The heart of my feminine was deeply touched. I felt an awakening encouraging the Goddess in me to rise again. Read Shonagh's book and you will feel empowered, touched and healed by her words."
~ Patricia White Buffalo

"Shonagh has a beautiful way of expressing the essence of life in her writing. She helps the reader open portals that allow a new awareness and consciousness journey into the heart. Thank you Mother Ix Chel for your teachings and wise rituals. And, thank you Shonagh for being open to receiving them."
