A memoire of how her hypnosis skills and a brain haemorrhage helped Lisa Morgan connect with a wide variety of non-physical intelligences: some human and others from the natural world. Their conversations explored matters of truth, lies, women, men, the use of persuasion techniques and the impact of ideologies on society. These supernatural voices gave a range of perspectives on the current state of affairs, especially on gender, identity, religion, and the longer-term impact of these upon people's lives.
Lisa is shown how these turbulent times might increase human understanding. Amongst the many 'spirits' she connects with are St Joan, Elizabeth I of England, Nebuchadnezzar, children from the future, ancient gods and some that aren't human at all. Their comments occur spontaneously when Lisa connects with them in a state of hypnotic trance.
The Real Woo is structured so that readers can dip in and out of its many stories, observations and conversations. It has been described as a 'literary box of jewels'. Readers report coming back to it and rereading favourite passages.
The Real Woo: Seeing Beyond Identity is a book that is unashamedly weird and as reader, Phil, said: 'It's funny in parts'.
