Reader Reviews

The Second Half of the Mountain

“The weirdest and most reassuring book I ever read. It gave me great solace. Because what you write is very familiar as well. ”

— MS, The Netherlands

“Perfectly poised as a guide for this next stage of our collective journey & I can’t think of a better person to be writing it. ”

— Brian Andreas, Internationally-known artist & writer

“This book provided the missing peace (piece) I have been searching for since my awakening. No BS. No trendy spirituality. Just unadorned wisdom that helped me into the next phase.”

— JW, Amazon Review

Down from the Mountain

"This isn't a book for beginners. If you haven't been knocked down, dragged through the mud, suffered, given up, started over, and picked yourself up again and again, you're not ready for this book. But if you have, then this book is perfect for you, and it's probably exactly what you need."

—Jay S.

“Is it DUMB to highlight the entire book?”

— Shellie J.

“McCall's first book, The Second Half of the Mountain, found me when I needed it most. I hit a wall of confusion, I was so done with new age spirituality, and I felt totally lost. The wisdom she shares about the alchemical process resonated so deeply with what I was experiencing but felt like no one was talking about. I felt like I was in a deep dark well and didn’t know how to explain what was happening to me.. her words landed in my heart, like a soothing balm of understanding and a dose of OH SH^T! Realizing I was in a process that wasn’t over.. and likely getting worse. She keeps it really REAL. 🙏🏼 Her second book, Down from the Mountain, has landed in much the same way. Words I needed to receive right when I needed it. McCall weaves with words in a way that describes what I have felt but couldn’t always articulate. I am so grateful for her wisdom, medicine words, and presence in my life. As someone who is deeply feeling and sensitive, who longed for nothing but to know and live my own truth and soul - she speaks directly to this journey, this process, this alchemy. She gives context for the deeper inner work and human-ing that is severely lacking in our culture (and especially the new age spirituality space). McCall, thank you for sharing your gift with me and the wider world. Highly recommend both books and her podcast! With love and so much soul, xo Taylor”
