Wild Power: Discover the Magic of Your Menstrual Cycle and Awaken the Feminine Path to Power by Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer, Alexandra Pope
2.0
I'm a fertility awarenes educator, and I read this book because it is extremely popular in the community. The level of spirituality in this book is just a different side of the same coin of religion. The "masculine" and "feminine" theories in here feel reductive. The book is very "woo." They address people who have menstrual cycle struggles almost condescendingly with questions that suggest it could be in your head. Overall, very disappointing read. I'll admit I'm not their audience since I consider myself secular and not spiritual.
It is valuable to track your moods with your cycle and your symptoms. I think you can chart for health reasons without this book though. A solid fertility awareness class and a supportive community can fill that gap.
