About the Book

Seek the path of the priestess as a tool of empowerment and healing.

Book Synopsis

Seek the path of the priestess as a tool of empowerment and healing.

Finding empowerment in working with ancient gods is not new. Sometimes this approach to the deity is born from a wound. The wound is a catalyst of consciousness, which opens windows to other realities and invisible worlds. As a Priestess Hierophant, author Ness Bosch sees women who seek to get closer to the divine, to the Goddess, seeking to restore their connection with the divinity, but also connecting with the possible wounds that those goddesses mirror. In a painful but beautiful and healing way, the divine wound connects with the human feminine wound, bringing closer Goddess and mortal. This anthology is a collective testament to the survival and resilience of women. It is a reminder that every woman, no matter how deeply wounded, continues to walk hand in hand with others, and sometimes, with goddesses. The wounds we share with these divine figures are not just personal but also universal feminine wounds that have been carried for millennia.

Review Quotes

Susan Harper, PhD, author of Feminist Craft

This beautiful volume brings together stories of Goddesses across cultures, told through a diversity of author voices, to provide both a balm for our sacred wounds and a roadmap to healing. Through storytelling, poetry, and personal reflection, each author demonstrates how Goddess imagery and Goddess spirituality can be a powerful tool for healing both our own wounds and those handed down through the generations. Suggestions for ritual, embodied practice, and exploration help readers take the next steps in their own healing. Beautiful, thoughtful, and important work between these covers!
