"One could not anticipate this majesty and drama . . . Illuminations is riveting, following von Bingen through . . . to emerge as one of the significant voices of the 12th century . . . Unforgettable." --January Magazine

One of the most extraordinary women of the Middle Ages, Hildegard von Bingen--Benedictine abbess, healer, composer, saint--experienced mystic visions from a very young age. Offered by her noble family to the Church at the age of eight, she lived for years in forced silence. But through the study of books and herbs, through music and the kinship of her sisters, Hildegard found her way from a life of submission to a calling that celebrated the divine glories all around us. In this brilliantly researched and insightful novel, Mary Sharratt offers a deeply moving portrait of a woman willing to risk everything for what she believed, a triumphant exploration of the life she might well have lived.

"Gripping . . . Like Ann Patchett's Bel Canto, Illuminations] is primarily about relationships forged under pressure." --Publishers Weekly

"Masterful."--Saint Paul Pioneer Press

Not too strong and very spreadable
Flavor Name: Fresh Mint, Size: 1 count (Pack of 5)
These are fantastic! The texture is just what I was looking for. The leading brand is too dry in my opinion these are perfectly moisturizing and spreadable with the right amount of mint. You can tell it’s mint but it doesn’t burn like some of the others. After first trying a tallow moisturizer I was hooked and starting to look for a lip balm. This is a great choice for people who love the more oily texture of tallow!

Love the benefits of tallow! It’s all I use!
Scent: Lavender
I am a loyal Lotus customer having their face tallow cream on authorship. It’s all I use on my skin & for my teenage daughter. Surprised when I saw they had their bars on Amazon so I placed an order. They are wonderful tallow bars just like I’d expect from Lotus! Smooth, creamy & lather so beautifully! My skin felt so clean & moisturized after my bath. No nasty chemicals, all natural skincare! Definitely buy these bars! I don’t have any skin conditions or concerns I just would rather use natural high quality ingredients, but I can see if you have sensitive skin or any skin issues this would help! Thank you for making high quality skincare!

Worth the price!!
Scent: Unscented
I honestly love this soap. I have it in a pure cotton pouch and that helps with the lather. Yes, the bars are small, but these three have lasted me almost 5 months. For the ingredients in it, and how it makes your skin feel, it is worth the price. I’m running low so will be replenishing soon. Far better than your basic bar soap from the store!

Good Product
Scent: Unscented
Honestly one of the better bar soaps I’ve tried in a while. It’s priced a little higher than what you’d grab off a drugstore shelf, but you can tell pretty quickly that you’re getting something different it lasts longer, feels more substantial, and actually does something for your skin rather than just cleaning it. The lather is rich without feeling heavy, and after a few days of use you notice your skin staying softer without needing to reach for lotion right after. If you’re on the fence about upgrading your soap, this one’s worth trying.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
