Reviews

"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." “Every once in a while a book comes along that brings the right kind of medicine at just the right moment. Spirit Speaker demystifies spirit contact and gives excellent guidance to anyone seeking to connect to their beloved dead. It’s the book I’ll be recommending to folks who have lost a loved one and want to develop the skills to continue their relationship beyond the veil.” “This is a book that has been long overdue and whose time has come! Salicrow shows her authentic self and her expertise in every word. She writes in a direct and easy-to-understand manner that makes you feel you are right there with her. Spirit Speaker is a detailed and all-inclusive guide for anyone who wishes to explore the skill or desires to learn what the spirit world is like from both sides of the veil. From current beliefs, communication, and energy exchange to being a death doula, Salicrow writes with firsthand knowledge, and it shows. This book will not disappoint!” “Spirit Speaker offers invaluable psychic insight combined with the author’s deep tradition, family ideals, and ancestral knowledge designed to teach us how to keep the connection with our loved ones from beyond the veil. This book presents the death process as hope and understanding, encouraging us to create a sacred practice in which we make time and hold space for our loved ones in spirit. It beautifully and honorably expands the mind as well as the heart and assists the reader to embrace the idea that death touches us all.” “Written from a deep well of experience, respect, empathy, and love for those who are making, or have made, the transition to the spirit world and their beloved families. Throughout this manual of how to care compassionately for the dead and dying, Salicrow weaves personal stories with a lightness that is medicine for a culture that has been taught to fear death.” “As a death doula educator and home funeral guide, I know that my students are always looking for ways to connect to their own beloved dead and also to help others. Spirit Speaker is invaluable for those seeking deeper connection to the spirit world and to implement ceremony and meaning into their lives. And personally, as a developing Medium, I have found the stories and tips a great resource.” “Salicrow has written a guide that normalizes the sacredness of death and dying and its connection to the living. Embedded in this book are techniques that explain the importance of daily ancestral work, healing bloodlines, and assisting people during and after passing, including how to work with tragic deaths. This book shows that in order to heal, one must know death, while embracing life.” “Salicrow brings knowledge and wisdom to the unimaginable. Through Spirit Speaker, she offers peace to family members and individuals who struggle with grief, shame, guilt, and hopelessness associated with the death of a loved one by natural causes, addiction, suicide, or a traumatic death. Salicrow presents specific and feasible methods that anyone can follow to honor and connect with their loved ones. This book illuminates a path to reclaiming our connection to our deceased loved ones, ancestors, and ourselves. A truly inspiring portrayal of what lies beyond the veil.” “I will pass along this wise and earthy book to many friends and family—as a genuinely helpful guide to engaging with those on the other side and as an invaluable and urgent reminder that the dead are ready and willing to show us how to live.” “Salicrow actively brings the reader on a journey through death and dying, while providing tools to accustom and initiate end-of-life rites of passage within one’s family and community.” "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." "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." Expand reviews
