This book shows that in order to heal, one must know death, while embracing life.”

"I really enjoyed reading Spirit Speaker. Salicrow’s writing style is very conversational and bright, especially for a topic that some would consider morose. The book was well planned, easy to read, and included both a table of contents and a very specific index. I plan to create my own altar to my ancestors and will also enjoy teaching some of the concepts in this book to my women’s group and clients."

– PJ Spur, Musing Mystical

"In this new short volume, Spirit Speaker, Salicrow writes that she hopes that 'anyone reading it may find a deeper understanding about what happens when we die' and 'how alive our Beloved Dead really are.' Salicrow’s theme throughout this book is one of normalizing the processes of death by encouraging people to do some sort of practice with death on a regular basis. This book is a useful guide."

– Sara R. Diamond, FacingNorth.net

"This is a good introduction by a practitioner describing how she uses these therapies with the most focus being on the flower essences. The book will give the reader an overview of how alternative therapies are talking about and treating family trauma. The added twist of the author's personal experiences makes this more interesting."
