Overview

Love and Spirit Medicine chronicles Shonagh's mystical journey through the end of her marriage into a focused, shamanic exploration of entheogenic mushrooms. This became a monthly call for twelve months, to where she engaged the mushroom teachers primarily outside in the dark of night. During that time, a love relationship unfolded that catalyzed a dark night of the soul, initiating much needed inner growth and change. It was through her mushroom journeys that she discovered a well of resources as she developed a relationship with the mushroom teachers. Her reverent, ceremonial use of the mushrooms forged a powerful path in her spiritual exploration. Each journey brought Shonagh into connection with tutelary spirits, whether they were the elemental spirits of nature, or celestial beings, they proffered insight and wisdom that fueled her growth and healed a deep inner wound. The result was a newfound appreciation of her own mystery and the great mystery that is nature and its infinite intelligence. This is a raw, vulnerable woman's telling that explores both shadow and light, and the magical realms of the mushroom teachers.

Love and Spirit Medicine is a poignant and brutally honest memoir about personal empowerment and transformation in a time of rapid global change. Full of humor and heartbreak, one woman's deeply personal journey toward self-discovery becomes a roadmap for individual and collective healing beyond cultural programming. Shonagh Home shows that by trusting inner wisdom and learning from one's shadow, one can see life's fiercest challenges as opportunities for conscious growth. It is a powerful testament for our evolutionary potential. -Nese Devenot, Founder of the Psychedemia Conference and Contributing Editor for Reality Sandwich Reviews This is an open and honest spiritual memoir that details the author's life and relationships while she grew into her shamanic practice. Most especially does she talk extensively about her experiences with psychedelic mushrooms and how these shaped her spiritual growth. Those interested in shamanism, especially the paths that include the use of consciousness-altering substances, will find this book enlightening and very helpful. Not everyone is called to this path and it is not for everyone as some people are not psychologically healthy enough to be able to handle the results. Reading Love and Spirit Medicine prior to using these substances could make a huge difference in the outcome. --New Spirit Journal Reviews Shonagh Home does a remarkable job putting words to an experience that is almost impossible to describe. Her vulnerability and raw honesty is an inspiration and guidepost for all of us who are either on this journey or desiring to be. -Kathleen Hosner, Ph.D. Reviews In writing rich in heart, mind, and intuition, Shonagh Home lets us accompany her through her life transformations via relationships with both human teachers and plant teachers. Along the way, her narrative of crises endured and transcended describes her own inner spiritual growth and at the same time helps her readers grow in love and understanding too. --Thomas B. Roberts, Ph.D., author of The Psychedelic Future of the Mind Reviews Shonagh Home's vivid encounters with spirit guides teach her about the shadow side of her psyche. She offers honest accounts of the confusions and misunderstandings that can occur during highly altered states of consciousness and the challenges of finding herself between the worlds. Love and Spirit Medicine is a courageous story of her shamanic initiation and her journey of awakening and empowerment. -Annie Oak, journalist, filmmaker, and founder of The Women's Visionary Congress Reviews
