For centuries the interweave of empirical and faith-based beliefs has favored an identification of postmenopausal woman with positive or negative archetypes of spiritual transformation. The former includes mystical ecstasy, whose prevalence during menopause can be related by anthropological endocrinology to previous transformations linked to the ovarian shutdown in the mammary, bone and adrenal axes that disturb the balance between earthy matters and spiritual life in favor of the latter.Downloads
