twylghast's review against another edition

So terrible I’m *this* close to getting rid of every single oracle deck I mistakenly got by this woman…honestly.
So goddamn trite, basic, useless…Megan Fox could tell you this, and I bet she’s read this book, or wants to.
It’s like…let’s eat men, but let’s not say we want to eat men? With the half-assed disclaimers and single minded focus on only *female* white readers, no consideration for non-binary or male people beyond the aforementioned half-assery, appropriating so so much with nary a notice, from Kali to Baba Yaga, to Lemuria, just…ugh. Bitch should have stayed in her lane.
Didn’t help that she mentioned sister rapist Lena Dunham (I wanted to replace it with Dumber, but worried not everyone would get it) and pro-genocide loon Amy Schumer (officially changed to Shoo-off), to mention only a few.
This is capitalistic boss babe, we care about the earth but won’t give up anything for it…trash self-help is the genre, if by that we mean helping this bitch get rich with all the fucking excessive mentions of her hashtags and website using the stupid name of this book…fr, someone better get me shrooms or ayahuasca after all this brainwashing…need to go on a cleanse, I swear. Or a lobotomy via psychedelics.
I wish I hadn’t wasted my time with this, and am writing this review in the hopes that you won’t, either. Nearly anything you do instead will do you better. Also, ignore the existence of her oracle decks. I will be chucking mine in the trash, thankfully bought the “fake” versions so she got not a penny of my money and shhhh…I also did not pay for this book, thank Satan. Or Annie’s, if you catch my drift. Done with rant, and this book. Again; thank Satan and myself.

Definitely just bought this book because I loved the cover and the title. The actual content, not so much. As I mentioned in my review for Campbell's Light Is The New Black, her writing is very redundant and doesn't really teach me much, as other self-help books do.

I really wanted to love this book. I have several of her decks that speak to me and I use often. I am deep in her style of woo. But this book just doesn’t know what it wants to be. A charter of substance followed by a poem followed by five pieces that feel like Instagram captions followed by a series of deep questions with no processing. I had to fight to finish it not based so much on content but on execution.

Started off strong, but ended up feeling repetitive.
I am, however, in love with how Rebecca Campbell was able gracefully talk about the devine feminine without making this book feel like some sort of over-the-top spiritual 'I hate science' nonesense.

I am a fan of Rebecca Campbell's work, she's not perfect but she's a good writer. I would love a queer version though, a non-binary author telling their story would be great.

This should be the new bible for our generation! So much heart-filled wisdom. I listened to the audio book and found myself nodding my head the whole way through. <3

I liked this book more than I thought I would, especially seeing I wasn't a fan of Light is the New Black. But this book is so much better. I listened to this one on AudioBook, but I can see I may need a physical copy of this book. I also think having joined Rebecca's online community helped with getting deeper into this book. I have already recommended this book to a couple of friends and I can see recommending it to more peeps in the future.
