Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I was amazed to find that I had no idea how to unfold my spiritual life in a feminine way. I was surprised, and, in fact, a little terrified, when I found myself in the middle of a feminist spiritual reawakening." ––Sue Monk Kidd For years, Sue Monk Kidd was a conventionally religious woman. Then, in the late 1980s, Kidd experienced an unexpected awakening, and began a journey toward a feminine spirituality. With the exceptional storytelling skills that have helped make her name, author of When the Heart Waits tells her very personal story of the fear, anger, healing, and freedom she experienced on the path toward the wholeness that many women have lost in the church. From a jarring encounter with sexism in a suburban drugstore, to monastery retreats and to rituals in the caves of Crete, she reveals a new level of feminine spiritual consciousness for all women– one that retains a meaningful connection with the "deep song of Christianity," embraces the sacredness of ordinary women's experience, and has the power to transform in the most positive ways every fundamental relationship in a woman's life– her marriage, her career, and her religion. This Plus edition paperback includes a recent interview with the author conducted by the book's editor Michael Maudlin.
Download or read book New Moon Magic written by Risa Dickens and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2023-09-12 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harness the power of lunar magic with 13 essential practices for the modern witch—one for each New Moon of the year Fresh, fierce, and unapologetically feminist, this is both guidebook and rallying cry: an intersectional and inclusive magical praxis that resists, disrupts, and opens the door to nourishment, abundance, and transformation—for readers of Psychic Witch and The Spell Book for New Witches In New Moon Magic, Missing Witches authors Risa Dickens and Amy Torok offer Witchy practices to change your life and reshape the world, without falling prey to the commercialization that belies the true heart—and power—of magic. Witchcraft is praxis: how we do what we believe, and how we make those beliefs manifest. New Moon Magic is an offering to all witches, honoring the Craft’s roots in centuries of empowerment, survival, and resistance—despite capitalism’s attempts to co-opt and dilute its practice. Here, Dickens and Torok reclaim tools of witchcraft as the ways and means of enchantment, imbued with magic that resists commodification and capitalism. The authors introduce 13 New Moon practices, each paired with a Witch who embodies the Craft: Potions with Cerridwen and St. Hildegard von Bingen Divination with Lozen and Harriet Tubman The Garden with Mayumi Oda Ritual & Ceremony with Genesis P-Orridge The Circle with Audre Lorde Through historical research, interviews, and the authors’ own raw personal stories, New Moon Magic offers wisdom and guidance from real Witches past and present. It shows you how to take up tools and practices, discover (or rediscover) your own magic, and nurture a Witchcraft that creates instead of consumes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swiss Cheese Heart follows two girls who meet in the first grade, become lifelong friends, and share an unbelievable bond throughout their lives. Rae Jean is Katrina's exact opposite. Strong, well adjusted, and professional, Katrina is a foil to Rae Jean's problem life filled with alcohol abuse, parental distress, and a torrid love life. Born to addicted parents, Rae Jean's life is declining rapidly while Katrina helps her best friend with whatever problems she faces. Through divorce, murder, addiction, poverty, and illness, the two cling to each other and their bond is never broken. Life can be messy, chaotic, and heartbreaking, but also beautiful, rewarding, and honest. Both sides are portrayed in this stunning novel. A best friend is a person one can tell anything, the one who does not judge or lie to us, and the one who never leaves us because our life is too dramatic. Swiss Cheese Heart takes place in Northern Kentucky and is full to the brim with real life drama. About the Author: Vicki Thornberry is a retired English teacher in Southgate, Kentucky, about a mile from Cincinnati, Ohio. "The character of Katrina is my voice. Through her, I tell the reader what I think about love, life, health care, poverty, and dysfunction." The author writes from the heart and from real life experiences, having lost three good friends to lung cancer and her daughter to a heart condition.
