Many goddesses offer tales of suffering as victims of injustice, betrayal, loss, abandonment, abduction, assault and, too often, rape. The collection of essays in Divine Wounds - Finding Healing Working with Goddesses and Archetypes relates those ancient stories to similar struggles women still face in the 21st century. They show how working with those deities can offer comfort in our own times of trouble, and heal psychological wounds. The book is edited by Ness Bosch, who provides a chapter called ‘Finding healing working with Welsh Goddesses’. Other contributors include Morgan Daimler writing on Macha, Halo Quin on Blodeuwedd, Karen Tate on Sekhmet, Rachel Patterson on Sulis, Frances Billinghurst on Ereshkigal, Irisanya Moon on Aphrodite, and Mael Bridge on Keening with Brigit. This is a powerful and important book, full of insight into the darker aspects of feminine mythology. It offers compassion and hope to those who have faced unfairness in life, especially women in a society that is still sadly patriarchal.
Divine Wounds is published by Moon Books, which is an imprint of Collective Ink.
