The Requiem, Funeral Songs, and Mythopoetry of Megan K. Cannon: How The West Was Woman

“The Requiem, Funeral Songs, and Mythopoetry of Megan K. Cannon: How The West Was Woman” is an autobiographical creative nonfiction odyssey that takes place over the course of a decade. It explores falling in love and the power of true love, betrayal, tragedy, death, relationships, severe and various forms of complex trauma, adventure, initiation, and even the “peeling” of intergenerational trauma through the exploration of physiological attributes and familial relationships. Through this great modern mythic adventure we meet the use of ayahuasca as medicine to treat trauma and cure epigenetic expressions of trauma. Throughout the story, seventeen ayahuasca ceremonies take place across the world. It begins in January of 2012 following our heroine, Megan, across a 10-year timespan. It starts with a story of true love with Christian; and enters a dark night of the soul when betrayal, terror, and tragedy lead to a near death experience. We follow our female protagonist through death and back, around the universe, and into the jungle as science and all of history are explored and the past comes to life in the present. The entire theme centered around the lover archetype, the combining of opposites, with our protagonist being not only female but a paradox. And through these intense and intimate love stories, the men she meets along the way, terrifying circumstances, bring you to your knees deep eroticism, and great adventure – all the stories of our ancestors are pulled on; from Greek Mythology, to fairytales, to Shakespeare, indigenous wisdom, and even the mythos of Jesus - consummating and evolving into a modern mythos through love, sex, death, and alchemy.
