An exploration of the connections between feminine consciousness
and altered states from ancient times to present day Women have
been shamans since time immemorial, not only because women have
innate intuitive gifts, but also because the female body is wired
to more easily experience altered states, such as during the
process of birth. Whether female or male, the altered states
produced by psychedelics and ecstatic trance expand our minds to
tap into and enhance our feminine states of consciousness as well
as reconnect us to the web of life. In this book, we discover the
transformative powers of feminine consciousness and altered states
as revealed by contributors both female and male, including revered
scholars, visionary artists, anthropologists, modern shamans,
witches, psychotherapists, and policy makers. The book begins with
a deep look at the archetypal dimensions of the feminine principle
and how entheogens give us open access to these ancient archetypes,
including goddess consciousness and the dark feminine. The
contributors examine the female roots of shamanism, including the
role of women in the ancient rites of Dionysus, the Eleusinian
Sacrament, and Norse witchcraft. They explore psychedelic and
embodied paths to ecstasy, such as trance dance, holotropic
breathwork, and the similarities of giving birth and taking
mind-altering drugs. Looking at the healing potential of the
feminine and altered states, they discuss the power of plant
medicines, including ayahuasca, and the recasting of the
medicine-woman archetype for the modern world. They explore the
feminine in the creative process and discuss feminist psychedelic
activism, sounding the call for more female voices in the
psychedelic research community. Sharing the power of "femtheogenic"
wisdom to help us move beyond a patriarchal society, this book
reveals how feminine consciousness, when intermingled with
psychedelic knowledge, carries and imparts the essence of
inclusivity, interconnectedness, and balance our world needs to
heal and consciously evolve.
