This dual way of seeing, being, and acting, Dr. Estés explains, is the most direct way to reclaim the gifts of the healing apothecary set into each soul at birth. On two CDs of empowering insights, special blessing prayers, and original storiestold here for the first timeDr. Estés inspires us to find our one-of-a-kind voice and trust in our ability to see beyond the obvious, to see beyond the cultural, as she introduces: The Fire Owlan all-new tale about reclaiming the fire of enthusiasm when others would try to steal it away The Corpse Bridean all-new story about the hope which cannot die and the power of redemption The Erl König, The Rebbe in Prison, The Man Who Sought Treasure Afar, and more We are weakly linked or else severed from the wild and wise self, says Dr. Estés.
