"Keening with Brigit — making peace with complex grief” in Divine Wounds by Ness Bosch

 

Writing "Keening with Brigit — making peace with complex grief” for this anthology was a transformative process, and I am still reaping the rewards. I hope that readers will also find it — and the other offerings in Divine Wounds: Finding Healing by Working with Goddesses and Archetypes — a route to continued insight and healing.

I would love to know other folk’s stories of grief and Brigit. Mine deals with the death of my brother, via the death of her son.

From the Facebook page of the editor, Ness Bosch:

OPEN TO PRE-ORDER
DIVINE WOUNDS
This powerful cover by the multi-talented
Emily Carding holds inside a gift of self-love and healing.
"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.
In a painful but beautiful and healing way, the divine wound connects with the human feminine wound, bringing closer Goddess and mortal. This anthology 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."
Packed not only stories, crafted by an amazing group of authors, you will find in this book practical exercises, rituals and information to help you connect with the Goddesses present on this volume.
