Publisher's summary

In this life-changing book that blends myth, memoir, and modern-day mentors, renowned psychologist Dr. Sharon Blackie journeys from the wasteland of modern society to a place of nourishment and connection.

"Mind-blowing. An anthem for all we could be . . . I sincerely hope every woman who can read has the time and space to read it."—Manda Scott, author of Boudica and A Treachery of Spies

Like Women who Run with the Wolves, this is powerful rallying cry to women to embrace a different kind of femininity. Described as both transformative and essential, Sharon Blackie leads the listener on a quest to find their place in the world, drawing inspiration from the wise and powerful females in native mythology, and guidance from contemporary women who have re-rooted themselves in land and community and taken responsibility for shaping the future.

Beautifully written, honest, and moving, If Women Rose Rooted is a passionate song to a different kind of femininity, a rallying, feminist cry for the rewilding of womanhood; reclaiming our role as guardians of the land.

A brilliantly written book weaving together Celtic mythology and a memoir. The importance of connection to the earth and place is brought forth through storytelling. I highly recommend this amazing book!

Captivating

There is nothing to dislike. On the contrary, What is not to like? I did not like that it ended!

Gorgeously written

Deeply insightful and thought provoking book. I absolutely loved it and highly recommended it, for all women not just us older ones.

Very enlightening

I found this book resonated with my own inner journey and helped me to understand myself better.

Great narration, powerful story to boost women and our connection to the earth

This book came across my path at a retreat lead by Christine Ruth and I’m so glad I dove in. The narration is smooth and easy on the ears. The writing is beautiful and powerful, just like the elder women in its stories. Just a gorgeous book with plenty of thoughts worth bookmarking and pondering further.

Transformative story and thought provoking.

I walk away from this book with more ideas and intrigue than many other works have done for me in the last decade. I want to share this work with everyone I know who has an interest in folklore of the Celtic region, environmental activism, or anyone who is embarking upon a new journey. It’s a fabulous read.

Wisdom for our time

This book and the quality of the narration by the author touched my heart. A beautiful weaving of personal narrative with a global—and even universal—narrative that maps a positive way forward for humanity and the Earth. Inspiring!

An absolute gem of a book.

This book can me to me when I needed it. I enjoyed every minute and listening to Sharon’s narration was so soothing. What a Devine story teller. I am so glad that I also own a hard copy so that I can return over and over to the stories and the wisdom. This a book for women! Thank you Sharon Blackie for this gift of literature. Your writing is superb. Can wait to get Hagitude!
