Check out some of what our Authors say:

Activism begins in the chambers of our own hearts, cultivating the seeds of self-love and self-appreciation. To be strong we must cultivate love for ourselves. — CINDY MORRIS

Relinquishing the old self is an identified task in the grief process ––unique to each individual––for the mother and anyone who has lost a loved one. -– Diane Martin, Ph.D.

How do we reclaim our body’s truth: the TRUTH of our bodies as Divine? — REV. DIANNA RITOLA

Being in alignment with the Goddess, in a simple and direct way, is to be attuned with nature, with its rhythms and its manifestations. The moon’s energy, for instance, can be a vital resource for our own. — NORIS BINET

When you find your spiritual home, that place where things feel right and uncomfortably perfect, it changes you and everything around you: your worldview, your view of yourself, your view of those around you, your view of those who used to be around. — ANGELA KUNSCHMANN

The Goddess, our Divine Mother, is the eternal midwife, guardian, and healer. She is the guide through life’s transitions. — BELINDA K. LASHEA

I feel big changes coming. Not Apocalyptic earth changes, though climate change is definitely real, but societal ones – the Goddess is about to shuffle Her cards and things are about to be rearranged, redefined, and we’re going to build it stronger this time around. — MORGAINE SWANN

I say “yes” to writing, telling the truth, embracing the Goddess, claiming our freedom as women, working for causes we believe in, and being our authentic selves beyond the realm of those cultural or regional expectations that limit us. — ELLEN J. PERRY

A feminist spirituality must necessarily be a spirituality of “we,” not “me.” — HEARTH MOON RISING

We must also come to realize that with anger and divisive backlash between men and women we will get nowhere in solving our current predicament, as men as well as women are suffering the consequences of the patriarchal structures on which we are basing our lives. — AMINA RODRIGUEZ

So my encounter with Mary Magdalene has awakened in me a desire to know the truth. It has awakened in me a sense of justice. It has awakened me to the fact that greater social powers, often disguised as the ‘leaders’ of society, manipulate the truth to their advantage, that they want some of us to be disempowered. — JOANNA KUJAWA, Ph.D.

I didn’t realise that this journey was going to be so messy, so distressing, and so rewarding, but I seemed to have been blessed by strong, outspoken and often more educated women – their education teaching us both that immersion in patriarchal institutional learning had its up sides and it down sides, just as the organic way of lived curiosity has its ups and down, too. — LOUISE HEWETT

I listen to inner guidance that also comes from the earth. The earth speaks within me. I touch and see and I know. Touching a tree, touching water, I know what I can’t put into words. Sometimes words come, or a sense of peace and intense love. Lately I’ve noticed the voice at my home, the hill on which we live centering on a beaver pond, belongs to the beavers, their presence and wisdom. I listen and learn. — TINA MINKOWITZ

Our intuition is our most potent and primal magic. It is our connection to our creative power, to our divine feminine essence, and to Spirit. — SUZETTE WEST

Can you sacrifice your material desires and replace these with the truest desire of your own soul – to be at one with our perfect Earth and with yourself by silently singing the poetry of your soothing love? — DEBORAH HOLLINS

This was a really exciting time for me as a teacher. My students were not only learning how to research, but how to question, which can be a harder skill to master. — ERICA HOLMES STARKS

I believe the unconscious speaks in images and when we participate in a ritual, using symbols, pictures, colors, elements, and gestures, we are alerting the unconscious that we want to change our patterns of behavior and elicit its co-operation. We are stating in a non-language format what we want to set in motion.  — JYOTI WIND

Although the existence of a male principle is necessary for the continuation of life, its dominant position is checked by the female principle, demonstrating the superiority of the womb – the mother principle. — DEEPAK SHIMKHADA

Many women want a vision of deity that affirms who they are at this very moment as opposed to some ultimate reality that transcends gender. — KAREN NELSON VILLANUEVA, Ph.D.

Once we recognize that we are sacred beings and one with our Source, as well as everything else around us, the connections begin to grow. We take ourselves out into nature. We learn to really “see” what is around us. We learn that everything can speak to us, tell us what we need to know, if we listen. We study our past, digging deeply into our ancestors’ spiritual past, wanting to know who their gods and goddesses were, and we actively engage with them in our own lives. — Deanne Quarrie, D. Min.
