Lister is also very convinced that everything sacred and powerful about a woman is her vagina and womb.

There are some good parts in this book though, I like her personal and simple way of describing the sabbaths and some rituals are fun to read about. Discover and work with five different aspects of the witch: the Force of Nature, the Creatrix, the Healer, the Oracle and the Sorceress.

I’ve decided to take one for the team and look back into this book to find some example of transphobic language. Your period is way more than PMS, carb cravings and lady rage-it's actually a 4-part lady code that, once cracked, will uncover a series of monthly superpowers that can be used to enhance your relationships with others, build a better business, have incredible sex and create a 'bloody' amazing life. This book was so self-serving and preachy that I was non-stop eye-rolling for the entire time reading.
