Overview: 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.

Verdict: In a painful but beautiful and healing way, the divine wound connects with the human feminine wound, bringing closer Goddess and mortal.

This new anthology entitled Divine Wounds: Finding Healing by Working with Goddesses and Archetypes by author Ness Bosch 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.

In what is a most incredible collection of new narratives on the subject matter to hand, Divine Wounds is a deeply engaging, richly sculpted and dutifully robust book of prose that not only shines a light on what can be a very sacred landscape of pain and suffering, of continual healing, into then a transformative understanding of who you were and who you are now, but intriguingly views it all from within the all-encompassing veil of Witchcraft.

Moreover, it brings together stories of Goddesses sewn across all manner of cultures, even proffering a veritable roadmap to healing. Brought forth by Ness Bosch, herself a Hierophant Priestess, Dame Commander, and Archdruidess of the Fellowship of Isis, the book is also a tribute to the women in her own family, especially her mother, who spent so many years suffering from her multiple wounds and illness, and to her grandmothers and her cousins, Maritere and Noemi, for being there.

With a Foreword by acclaimed writer Morgan Daimler, what Ness has created here is a most glorious storytelling through poetry, mysticism, personal reflection, and practical guidance, which showcases stories and real-world trauma, and is about connecting to those things in a way that helps us move beyond their limits. Here you can read about a Goddess that has gone through what you have. Find a prayer to her that resonates with your own experiences or needs. Enact a ritual to create a deeper connection.

Find healing. Start to find peace.
