Hello
Juliette de Bairacli Levy has been an inspiration to me. I consider her to
be a quite remarkable woman who has lived a life true to her instincts and
beliefs. Women such as Juliette are few and far between and for me she has
been a shining light along the way. I would love to read more about her and
would be happy to read stories by her daughter too. I live in Western
Australia where herbal mentors are few and far between and encouragement is
so necessary.
Thank you for bringing these books back in to print.
In herbal times.
Lydia

Dear Susun;
…
Thank you for your sensible, logical, rationale, loving work and advice to others (especially me,who needed a little "do less and trust in nature" approach right now.) I've read you a few times in Sage Woman lately (Mainly referencing Greek mytholgy) -- you are cautious and wise. I will be looking for your books.
In peace
Valerie

Hello Ms. Weed:
I've been reading all about you all over the Internet ever since I seem to
have headed into perimenopause, the last 4 - 6 months. Thanks for all the
very useful info!
|
| |
|
|
Thanks for any info, and thank you in general for the education and wisdom
offered to women on all these different herbs. It's so helpful. I've seen
docs re: perimenopause stuff, seeking their help, and let me tell you, they know next
to nothing! Once again proving to me that the medical establisment, by and
large seems to know very little about women's bodies!
Luckily, we have each other!
Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Kathy

Hi Susun,
I wanted to send you a message to say Thank you for coming to Baltimore on the 9th. It was very rewarding for me. I look forward to reading your book and learning about more ways to care for myself. Thank you for being you and sharing your knowledge with people.
Namaste’

hello susun weed-
i write to thank you for all of the work you have put in to relieving the HOT suffering of we women in menopause. i know suffering is a big word, but i was so miserable for the first year. In 2002, upon a visit to my sister in new zealand, a naturopath recommended your book to me - vous la. i put together an herbal regime that was customized to my symptoms and i gave it a good 4 months. it happened, it really did happen - my symptoms decreased by 70% and sometimes i have 90% abatement of symptoms! i have gifted your book to many women.
from my very cooled down self - thank you.
peace, lori

Hello,
I want to thank Susun Weed for all her insight. She really
has no idea how much she has helped me and I will get her books as I am truly interested. I believe that Susun Weed truly helps others as well as myself.

Dear Susun,
Thank you for your wisdom, humor, and graciousness during the Green Nations
Gathering. I came home with many stories of the wonders of the weekend, but
none more so than your course on motherwort.
It occurs to me that this herb is well symbolized by the Strength tarot card
in the Rider Waite deck and interestingly, it is a woman taming a lion.
I do not live so far away from your center and will certainly make
it a priority to partake again of the knowledge you share so willingly.
Blessed be,
Shawn

Susun,
I just want to say I loved your reply about Eos. Your wisdom was
apparent, and you repectfully set the record straight.
I applaud all that you do and wish I had discovered you sooner.
Becasue of your article, "Energy & the Stamina of the Wise Woman," I have
vowed to get off my decaf coffee once and for all. It's so bad for me and I
have weaned myself off it a dozen times in my life. Even though I do yoga
and meditate, I would go back to the coffee for energy. It really saps
energy though in the long run and upsets my stomach as well.
Thank you for all you do. I hope to meet you in person one day.
Best Blessings~

Hi Susun,
Please put me on your mailing list. I have so much enjoyed your books and keep ordering them because I give them away! I have used your books to get through miscarriages, pregnancy, nursing for 3 yrs and now menopause (the motherwort works great). Thanks to you I have been growing my own Echinacea and making tincture for 8 yrs now! I was so delighted to see you have web site.
Do you ever come to N. California for talks? I teach a community college class on converting to native landscapes. A few weeks ago, when I mentioned yarrows calming effects during menopause, several of the students lunged for it! So I am forwarding your web site to them too! Yarrow can be used as a lawn substitute! Thanks for your great work!
Sincerely, --Louann

I am one of your biggest fans. Some 20 years ago I lived in Saugerites and

Sebastopo, bought all your books and USE them and continue to pass you ever
so wonderful work to friends in need.
…
Thank you for your love of Our Mother Earth and All that lives upon Her.

Hello Susun,
Having never communicated with you before, I really want to let you know that I appreciate your teachings, they are very wholesome and grounding. I initially discovered your site last year while searching for information about moonlodges and moon rituals. After having read The Red Tent I knew this was something I wanted to look into!
Earlier this year, I read your books whilst bedridden with a spinal fracture. I was looking for natural ways to nourish and support my body through the healing process. They were great companions…
So far I have experimented with herbal infusions, trying oatstraw, nettle, red clover and calendula (in combinations). But I would like to follow your recommendation of using the herbs in simples, this makes sense to me ... I am learning and enthusiastic!
Thank you so much for all you share, kind regards,
Lara

Hi Susun
I would love to be sent your newsletter. Everything you stand for rings so
true for my newly found spirit.
After feeling lost my whole life and then embarking on many journeys,
physically and spiritually and then reading your words.....I cried with
contentment for the first time. I truly knew once and for all that I am a
wild woman learning to also be wise. I am not alone. Thank the mother that
there are so many gorgeous women out there.
Thanks for giving me the confidence to wear my rebelious nature with pride.

dear susun weed,
i just wanted to say thank you for everything you do.
i have your Wise Woman Herbal Series and use them so much they look like
they have been through some heavy storms. Your Wise Woman Herbal for the
Childbearing Year was the only literature i read during and after my
pregnancy for my son. it was so helpful to me; that when i hear of one of
my friends getting pregnant, or being pregnant, your book is always my first
gift to them. my local store doesn't even ask me what i am ordering anymore.
they know it is your book.
so thank you for sharing your knowledge…
namaste,

Dear Susun,
I’ve been thinking of you so much the last few months! As I have been developing my own daily protocols and preparing to share them with others who have been asking, the Six Steps of Healing have been an integral part of it all – especially the first four, and mostly, the first and ‘zero point’ step; Do Nothing. Will I ever discover the end to the wisdom in this step?
Thank you!

Please add me! I heard your conference w/John at Learning Herbs and I'm VERY interested in learning more…

Dear Wise Women Friends at Susun Weed's place of learning,
I have much enjoyed using a clay poultice for my lumpy, distended breasts and lymph nodes- applied this poultice three times so far, and the lasting result is a wonderful vibrant, alive, circulating feeling that I sense is just what I need to help my breast(s) clear the stuck-ness they have been experiencing.
…
many thanks for all your generous offering and inspiration,
