Publisher Description
Ode to Our Wild Feminine Souls
This provocative book invites you to create your own spiritual path based on often-suppressed ancient principles and contemporary practices. Using the elements (earth, water, fire, air, ether) rather than traditional patriarchal hierarchies, this “holy book” is designed to connect each individual to their universal — but often denied — powers. Wild woman Danielle Dulsky takes you deep as she explores and embraces sacred feminine archetypes such as the Mother Goddess, the Crone, and the Maiden. Join her as she guides you to envision and explore a world that enriches and supports your spirit, body, and mind as well as our global community and the Earth.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
With conviction, defiance, and a broad, inclusive definition of womanhood, Dulsky (Woman Most Wild) calls on women to reconnect with their wild, instinctual feminine power in this poetic yet practical guide of heathen rituals and observances. "We sprang from the Earth, and the Holy Wilds of nature are ancestral," Dulsky writes as she addresses women as "priestesses" and calls on "the wild woman who is through making apologies for her own divinity" to "claim your heathen crown" and be validated in spiritual autonomy. Chapters connect women to this earth-bound heritage by drawing on five spiritual elements: earth (which Dulsky links to selfhood), water (fluidity, prayer), fire (transformation), air (love, gratitude), and ether (spirit). Each chapter contains pertinent rituals, incantations, dances, spells, poetic verses, and even wedding vows. Dulsky also presents enlightening stories of goddess archetypes such as Freya, Brighid, Aphrodite, and Mary Magdalene to hold up as examples for the basis of her rituals. Readers of all stripes will appreciate Dulsky's call for women to release themselves from society's judgment and dismissal, but this impassioned book will mostly appeal to witches and pagans seeking new avenues for ritual worship.
Customer Reviews
Not exactly sage-written
Bad writing that doesn’t convey knowledge worthy of writing a book to teach others.
Disappointing
Too much political agenda and not enough spirituality and women’s solidarity.
