In the "Acknowledgements" of my latest book, The Secret History of the American Empire, I end with, "And to a cat, Snowball, who takes some of the loneliness out of writing." My conversations with Snowball and other animals throughout my life have inspired and motivated me in profound ways.

Ask the Very Beasts speaks of a power long recognized by indigenous people who live close to nature. During this time of human/planetary crisis the wisdom of such guides may be our very salvation. Read, enjoy, and open your heart -- and mind -- even wider. . .

*****************

'Enter a world hidden to us when we forget who we are. As we slow down to know that we are part of each other and living creatures, the ancient whisper of natural wisdom will roar like thunder in your heart once you cast aside the illusion of what you think you know and listen to the timeless truths in this book.

The voices that talk in these pages call you to a simple challenge: can you stop to listen to the voices of the earth calling you back to your innermost heritage?"

"The integrity and honesty of Marilyn Geddes' words are beautiful. This book is a reminder of how intermingled our souls are with the animals we spend time with."
