"A diverse group of women from around the world has come together to create this offering to Kali and women everywhere. Each of the 41 contributors shares her own unique and powerful understanding of Kali—some in words, some in art—helping the reader to forge her own relationship with this transforming warrior Goddess."

“Joanna Macy writes that until we can grieve for our planet we cannot love it—grieving is a sign of spiritual health. But it is not enough to weep for our lost landscapes; we have to put our hands in the earth to make ourselves whole again. Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose joy over despair.”

― Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants

“It is so in every moment. It is not just some past heroic deed done, and as some recent influential stories have it, by a “son” sent by a deity who wasn’t prepared to give himself for the life of the world: and this was described as Love – is it any wonder we are personally and collectively in a mess. In the appropriated story commonly told in this era, the son sent is designated as an “only begotten son” – what kind of story is that? It begs many questions. How could the deity have only one son? Aren’t all beings children of deity? Did he have daughters? And would they have been worthy sacrifices? Perhaps not since they were commonly sacrificed every day; that would be nothing new and would not get much attention.

I suggest it was already common knowledge in the hearts and minds of the people that She – Dea, Goddess-Mother – gave Herself daily for the life of the world. There are so many images from around the world where She is offering Her breasts, and so many cultures wherein the grain that fed the people was understood as Her sacred body: She is “Corn Mother”, rice, barley, wheat. She was the original Communion. She is the original Communion.”

FIVE VOWS by Joanna Macy

I vow to myself and to each of you:
1-To commit myself daily to the healing of our world and the welfare of all beings.
2-To live on Earth more lightly and less violently in the food, products, and energy I consume.
3-To draw strength and guidance from the living Earth, the ancestors, the future generations, and my siblings of all species.
4-To support others in our work for the world and to ask for help when I need it.
5-To pursue a daily practice that clarifies my mind, strengthens my heart, and supports me in observing these vows.

“This time she will be coming with her own Elohim. These powerful ones will set the record straight about our origins and history, including religion. They will set the record straight about the Heresy of Monotheism—that the One Original Source of All Creation does not equate to one male god who demands obedience and worship at the threat of torture and death.

We hasten her return by nurturing the mother tree of life still alive within each one of us. We ground our roots and fortify our trunks and spread our branches to the sky—connecting our place here on earth with her place in heaven. We stop giving our fruit to those who demand our blind faith and devotion whether they be family, friends, co-workers, bosses, businesses, religious institutions or political parties. We connect our roots with others who are of like mind and spirit and from where we give and receive nourishment.

And we each celebrate her return in our own ways. We gather our wood. We kindle our fires. We pour our libations. We do our weaving. We knead our dough. We bake our cakes and mark them with her image. We make offerings to her on high places and under every green tree.

She calls not for our worship, but for the embodiment of our divinity.”

"The Gorgon Medusa presents herself to us here and now, requiring us to be fully present, to listen deeply-past the noise of accumulated judgments-to the Ancient Wisdom that is our true inheritance. She reminds us of our mortality as the Great Awakener, and encourages us to reclaim whatever has been silenced or diminished within us. We are admonished to have the courage to speak what is true, to trust ourselves to hold her gaze and know we will not be turned to stone."
-Joan Marler, excerpt from the Preface

“Immersing myself in Goddess spirituality has been a fleshy revelation and direct experience of my body being sacred, a beautiful temple and a living manifestation of Goddess in one of her many forms, shapes and sizes.”

"Sexualized. Medicalized. Has our culture lost the ability to honor all that our breasts are? Like so many other aspects of women’s lives, must breasts be pigeon-holed into narrow boxes, easily understood, easily forgotten as anything other than the obvious?

What has happened to the mystique—the magic—in our breasts?

Women are warned about these dangerous appendages, about their legendary power to attract both desirable and undesirable attention, about their potential impact on a woman’s overall health."

-H. Byron Ballard, excerpt from "A Breastful Reclamation" - featured in our upcoming anthology, Sacred Breasts
