"A soulful, authoritative, and exquisitely written guide for the heroine's journey we call childbirth. I highly recommend this beautiful gift of insight and knowledge." --Christiane Northrup, author, Goddesses Never Age

"As a midwife, psychologist, and artist, Pam England brings a one-of-a-kind perspective to childbirth. Because her own personal birth transformations laid the foundation for her ancient map, we can follow her advice confidently. Her book prepares us for a successful birth in a deep and powerful way." --Peggy O'Mara Former, author, Natural Family Living

"Offers warmth and wisdom, as well as deep compassion, and invites us into the awe-inspiring emotional and spiritual terrain that lies at the heart of childbearing." --Sarah Buckley, author, Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering

"Pam England and Virginia Bobro have crafted a mystical yet practical look at pregnancy, birth, and mothering . . . Its soothing guidance, enchanting stories, and creative exercises pave the ideal first steps along the parenting journey." --Amity Hook-Sopko, executive editor, Green Child Magazine

"The layering of the book into four parts--the Call, the Tasks of Preparation, the Gates of Laborland, and the Warrior's Return-- provides a solid organization, and even a sense of heroic journey. The many exercises make the presentation quite experiential and very useful for both practitioners and pregnant families." Lewis Mehl-Madrona, author, Coyote Medicine
