"Love and Spirit Medicine is a poignant and brutally honest memoir
about personal empowerment and transformation in a time of rapid
global change. Full of humor and heartbreak, one woman's deeply
personal journey toward self-discovery becomes a roadmap for
individual and collective healing beyond cultural programming.
Shonagh Home shows that by trusting inner wisdom and learning from
one's shadow, one can see life's fiercest challenges as
opportunities for conscious growth. It is a powerful testament for
our evolutionary potential." -Nese Devenot, Founder of the
Psychedemia Conference and Contributing Editor for Reality

"Love and Spirit Medicine is heartfelt and engaging, a fascinating
story of one woman's shamanic path to liberation. It provides
hard-won insight for others, particularly women searching for
identity and healing, who would find themselves with spirit guides,
on shamanic journeys, through the ingestion of sacred
(psychoactive) mushrooms. Western doctors would do well to try to
find commonalities with the shamanic approach Home uses, viewing
shamanism and efforts such as Home's shamanic path as a source of
convergent validity, not the rejected "other." Shonagh Home shares
her personal journey from a dying marriage, through an array of
fascinating shamans and other teachers, as a conduit for spirit,
and ultimately to a place of self-knowledge and service. Written
with humor and infinite heart, "Love and Spirit Medicine" is an
immediate classic of transformative personal and spiritual
development." -Neal M. Goldsmith, Ph.D., Public speaker and author
of Psychedelic Healing: The Promise of Entheogens for Psychotherapy
and Spiritual Development-- "Reviews"
"A sweeping hero's journey into the mythic realms and magical
healing of mushroom shamanism, Shonagh Home's Love and Spirit
Medicine offers a potent message for the illumination of the human
spirit and the awakening of the planetary heart." ─Talat Jonathan
Phillips, author of The Electric Jesus: The Healing Journey of a
Contemporary Gnostic, co-founder of Evolver-- "Reviews"
"In Love and Spirit Medicine Shonagh Home reminds us that our one
true love, and our one true home, is always within ourselves.
Through her honest and vivid ceremonial adventures with psychedelic
mushroom spirits, Shonagh's heartaches become heart truths and life
changing medicine. Home's mushrooom memoir proudly walks along the
newly growing path of psychedelic non-fiction favorites like
Singing to the Plants, Black Smoke, and Breaking Open the Head."
-Adam Elenbaas, author of Fishers of Men: The Gospel of an
Ayahuasca Vision Quest and one of the founding writers at

"In writing rich in heart, mind, and intuition, Shonagh Home lets
us accompany her through her life transformations via relationships
with both human teachers and plant teachers. Along the way, her
narrative of crises endured and transcended describes her own inner
spiritual growth and at the same time helps her readers grow in
love and understanding too." --Thomas B. Roberts, Ph.D., author of
The Psychedelic Future of the Mind-- "Reviews"
"Shonagh Home does a remarkable job putting words to an experience
that is almost impossible to describe. Her vulnerability and raw
honesty is an inspiration and guidepost for all of us who are
either on this journey or desiring to be." -Kathleen Hosner,
Ph.D.-- "Reviews"
"Shonagh Home's vivid encounters with spirit guides teach her about
the shadow side of her psyche. She offers honest accounts of the
confusions and misunderstandings that can occur during highly
altered states of consciousness and the challenges of finding
herself between the worlds. Love and Spirit Medicine is a
courageous story of her shamanic initiation and her journey of
awakening and empowerment." -Annie Oak, journalist, filmmaker, and
founder of The Women's Visionary Congress-- "Reviews"
"This is an open and honest spiritual memoir that details the
author's life and relationships while she grew into her shamanic
practice. Most especially does she talk extensively about her
experiences with psychedelic mushrooms and how these shaped her
spiritual growth. Those interested in shamanism, especially the
paths that include the use of consciousness-altering substances,
will find this book enlightening and very helpful. Not everyone is
called to this path and it is not for everyone as some people are
not psychologically healthy enough to be able to handle the
results. Reading Love and Spirit Medicine prior to using these
substances could make a huge difference in the outcome." --New
Spirit Journal-- "Reviews"
