Another warning from Edward!
I would say don't order these books unless you have a very open mind..! You would probably be dissapointed (and cursing me!), if you order this book and thought what a load of absolute twoddle and a waste of money!
This is exactly what I did.. when I first read the first book.. I didn't even finish it. I thought it was a load of fairy tale nonsense.. I had it recommended to me, and I was disappointed. I didn't even keep it on my book shelf..!
Only recently I found out that these books were having a profound effect on the Russian Culture..and the permaculture/ eco village movement.. (I have attached an article below)
And it was through my interest in this and hearing a talk by Dr Leonid Sharashkin (Permaculture practitioner and editor of English version). That I began to see these books in a new light..
I picked up my first copy again, and ended up ordering the whole series… I am now on book 6 which includes information about conscious child raising, and is certainly expanding my mind on this subject..
Hilariously fairytale at times, yes I agree.. and probably fictitious too. But if the message in these books can help just one person to connect more deeply with their own hearts truth, and a reconnection to our planet and to live a more harmonious, sustainable happy life.. then i think that has to be a good thing ...
(If you are thinking of buying them, feel free to have a look at my copies first!)

Women who Run with the Wolves: Contacting the Power of the Wild Woman
An excerpt from:
Call of The Ringing Cedars Scott Fraser
This is the story of The Ringing Cedars. Whether one accepts it as fact or fiction, it is playing a massive role in transforming the culture of Russia, and in various communities around the world.
Dachniks is a term for the cottage-gardeners of Russia, and we become very familiar with their story in reading Anastasia. Leonid Sharashkin, editor of The Ringing Cedars Series' English editions and a doctoral student in Agroforestry, is able to share with us the massive impacts of this gardening movement in the larger context of Russia's agricultural economy:
"Currently, with 35 million families (70% of Russia's population) working 8 million [hectares] of land and producing more than 40% of Russia's agricultural output, this is in all likelihood the most extensive microscale food production practice in any industrially developed nation.
"According to official statistics, in 1999 more than 35 million families (105 million people, or 71% of country's population) owned a dacha or a subsidiary plot and were cultivating it… The 35 million plots of these families occupy more than 8 million hectares and provide 92% of Russia's harvest of potatoes, 77% of its vegetables, 87% of berries and fruits, 59.4% of meat, and 49.2% of milk."
"When you look at the contribution of gardening to the national economy as a whole, it's even more stunning," Sharashkin said. "In 2004, gardeners' output amounted to 51% (by value) of the total agricultural output of the Russian Federation. This represents 384 billion rubles (approx. US$14 billion!!!), or 2.3% of Russia's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This is greater, for example, than the contribution of the whole of electric power generation industry (317 bn rubles), significantly greater than all of forestry, wood-processing and pulp and paper industry (180 bn), significantly greater than the coal (54 bn), natural gas (63 bn) and oil refining (88 bn) industries taken together. The share of food gardening in national agriculture has increased from 32% in 1992 to over 50% by 2000."
"Essentially, what Russian gardeners do," he concludes, "is demonstrate that gardeners can feed the world - and you do not need any GMOs, industrial farms, or any other technological gimmicks to guarantee everybody's got enough food to eat. Bear in mind that Russia only has 110 days of growing season per year - so in the US, for example, gardeners' output could be substantially greater. Today, however, the area taken up by lawns in the US is two times greater than that of Russia's gardens - and it produces nothing but a multi-billion-dollar lawn care industry."
Though the dacha movement has its roots in Russia's traditional peasant culture (and more recently in post-WW2 programs to boost agricultural production) the Ringing Cedars movement has had its own major contributions since the release of the books in 1996. A strong focus on planting trees and using non-timber tree products, permaculture principles like "no-dig" gardens, and fulfilling a spiritual relationship with the land are some of the new characteristics among the dachniks who have been inspired by Anastasia.
As well, the readers of Anastasia are also at the heart of a growing Russian eco-village movement. These are subsistence communities made up of multiple family estates, normally called "Kin's Domains," a term that appears in the books. Along with each family's estate of between one and three hectares, these eco-villages may include community areas with a school, clinic, theatre, and festival grounds. Before the release of the Ringing Cedars books, Russia was without an eco-village movement; but in 2004, a conference of readers had attendants representing more than 150 eco-villages!
The spiritual affinity within the communities of the Ringing Cedars movement lies in their vision of re-establishing "Motherland," an eco-culture where every person is fulfilling their role as a Divine Co-Creator. As readers go deeper into the series, Anastasia begins to reveal the path back to the state of a Creator Being, teaching about "The Science of Imagery," of empowering our creative ability with pure thought, feelings, and a loving relationship with Nature. She also shares her stories about the history of the People of Earth, of the priests who led us into the Occult Age that is just now ending, and of the Beauty that was found in the gardens and rituals of an ancient Vedic race.
Anastasia also gives advice regarding the sowing of seeds, raising bees, and ideas for setting up a permaculture-style estate. Along with accounts of kombucha UFOs, ancestral dolmens (ancient burial chambers), and supernatural orbs, The Ringing Cedars Series contains a diverse array of paranormal tales, practical sustainability, poetic scripture, and cultural vision. For me, the books are a captivating read of personal, cultural, and spiritual significance.
Across Russia, "Garden Plot Acts" legislation is increasingly coming into effect, entitling each Russian citizen to a piece of land free from taxation and inheritable though the family line. I read this message of sovereign title to land for the purpose of spiritual fulfillment as a hopeful tiding of humanity's future here on the planet. As I wander about visiting homesteads, farms, communities, and seeking the stories to inspire a natural and spiritual life, I have discovered Anastasia. It is one of those inspiring stories, and there are many blessings for us all on the path of Inspired Co-Creation.

What must you risk in order to experience deep sexual union? Why is feminine energy extremely attractive yet mistrusted? This book provides answers to these questions and a comprehensive program for unifying spiritual practice, sexual loving and intimate commitment.
