SAVAGE - BODYWORK: HEALTH, NUTRITION, RESISTANCE TRAINING WILDCRAFT WISDOM AND A TOUCH OF WITCH
SAVAGE – BODYWORK
Health, nutrition, resistance training wildcraft wisdom and a touch of witch
SAVAGE BODYWORK, the full workbook, was previously published under a different title containing less contemporary information. This current format includes diverse subjects from taboo to menstruation and menopause, age- shaming, body and mind consciousness, adding poetry, spaces for diary entries and contemplations, and a fully comprehensive training plan suitable for both a beginner or advanced body builder. SAVAGE BODYWORK focusses on nutrition and a holistic human-as-animal identity. De Angeles advises the reader to be as messy and mucky with it as they choose. Although written for women, this workbook is not exclusive to any gender. The training and reflections have developed from her own lived experience as both a practitioner and teacher, and is, therefore, presented in a casual, almost memoir- like style.
As a young witch, de Angeles learned the of the body/mind/spirit connection. Of living true to oneself and earth. As feisty and formidable as a wild creature at forty, and for many years after, all that knowledge seemed to unwillingly desert her. Because of menopause. Because of betrayal and the social bigotry of gender/age shaming. Warrior-trained, she summoned her inner champion, climbed the abyss of commonly-held profiling and rediscovered the seemingly-forgotten art of living beyond them.
Author, wildcraft medicine woman, healer and scholar, she writes Savage Bodywork to reassure women not to give in to despair. Take up the cause of self-determination. Be strong, and proud of how you live and who you are. Be that hoodoo hussy they all thought was an insult. De Angeles teaches the weaving, howling, disgraceful and unconditional journey of limitless individuality.
