Yoni's are good things

12/20/2000

Reviewer: A reader

I understand that some people may have some reservations about yoni's. However, yoni's are a part of our life, as discussed in this book. I certainly do not agree with the worship of yoni's, for yoni's are mere body parts (albeit important ones) and therefore, unlike the author's opinion, yoni's should be respected, but never worshipped. As the author makes known, we would all be nothing without yoni's. Yoni's have the ability to make us or break us, and I choose to believe that

yoni's make us.

Who thought yoni's would change my life?

Great book

Reviewer: A reader from Irving, TX

This is a wonderful book. Their are numerous examples from the world over of the widespread worship of the yoni as illustrated thru the many works of art left to us by our ancestors. This book is not for everyone though. If you are not comfortable with the female body this book may be too much for you. The close-up images of human yonis are hard to look at when you are raised in Western society and taught to see female genitals as "dirty" or "nasty".

However, this book is vital if you want to learn and see the history of humanity's reverence for the Goddess and Women. It provides several different types of information, definitions and imagery about yonis in a clear and direct way. If you are ready to challenge your patriarchal cultural conditioning, this book will do it.
