Books: Divine Wounds - Healing with Goddesses

A book is coming out this month that I was proud to write an endorsement for it before it was published. The title is Divine Wounds. It's about working with goddesses, and the path of the priestess as a tool of empowerment and healing. Inside is a collection of essays by authors from various pagan paths, edited by polytheist celebrant Ness Bosch.  Here's what I said in my endorsement: 

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.
