| NEW PRAISE
FOR METAPHYSICAL ODYSSEY INTO THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION . |
| "C.M.
Mayo offers another
dazzling work in her own fluid, poetic and highly visual prose...
By the time I finished I wished for a Don Francisco Madero
to guide us today, a politican who is also a mystic and intellect. Sophy Burnham, author of A Book of Angels  "Metaphysical
Odyssey into the Mexican Revolution paints a complex picture
of a curious crossroads in history, where the rise and fall of
a regime coincided with a spiritual and social awakening with
the potential to rewrite a country's future. Kudos to Mayo
for introducing us to both the man and his message."San Francisco Book Review "Mayo... provides not only an English translation of Madero's Spiritist Manual, but also a lively intoduction... The author argues effectively that Madero's manual is essential to understanding his revolutionary zeal." Kirkus Reviews = |
