The Flowerwise Oracle: In her first oracle deck, Leigh Podgorski has combined a lush garden of beautiful flowers, diverse feminine forms, and guidance from Mother Earth to create The Flowerwise Oracle. .I was drawn to the beautiful flowers and tagline...: ""Empowerment through the ancient wisdom of the feminine spirit.""1 I was captivated by the flowers, the penetrating feminine faces, and the rich, jewel-toned colors. Each face is different with many different cultures and ethnicities included. PJ Spur--Mystical Musings Western Song Leigh Podgorski's contemporary romance novel, Western Song, is a sweet and moving romantic tale about a Thai mail-order bride and the taciturn bachelor rancher who gives her a home in honor of his dead friend. .. her characters feel real and authentic, especially Wes and Song.... Western Song is much more than a romance; it's a modern day love story about Wyoming and the modern frontier... most highly recommended.
