 Illusions:
the Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah
Richard Bach

paperback hardback

from the intro by the author, "I'd lie on my back practicing cloud-vaporizing, and I couldn't get the story out of my mind... what if somebody came along who was really good at this, who could teach me how my world works and how to control it? What if I could meet a super-advanced... what if a Siddhartha or a Jesus came into our time, with power over the illusions of the world because he knew the reality behind them?"

Women Who Run with the Wolves:
Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype
Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D.

paperback hardback

Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Though the gifts of wildish nature come to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. Without Wild Woman, we become over-domesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D., Jungian analyst and cantadora storyteller, uses multicultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories that help women reconnect with the healthy, instinctual, visionary attributes of the Wild Woman archetype.
