As a sexual abuse survivor, I especially celebrate and recommend Joan Norton's and Margaret Starbird's 14 STEPS TO AWAKEN THE SACRED FEMININE. Sexual abuse thrives in cultures like ours that have banished the Sacred Feminine, and here is a book that shows how to awaken her and bring her back!
Beautifully written and designed, 14 STEPS TO AWAKEN THE SACRED FEMININE is a gentle, loving guide for individuals or groups that want to heal and reclaim the empowering archetypes of the Sacred Feminine which the Western Christian tradition has hidden, denied, degraded, and banished. This book is the feminine HERO'S JOURNEY for the intimate, individual journey to the inner world to resurrect our part of the Sacred Feminine and to call her forth into our daily lives through story, image, meditation, and reflection.
By engaging personally with the seven historical and seven legendary archetypes of Mary Magdalene, we can shed the historical distortions and cultural and doctrinal practices that changed Her story, which then captured, distorted, and degraded the Sacred Feminine in each of us. We can emerge with the mystery of our own divinity restored, empowered to be Her in a world that so badly needs and wants the strength, compassion, and balance She brings.

Dear Sandra, Thank you for beginning your new discussion about healing after "growing up without the goddess". Often we think we go on a kind of straight line of progress from abuse to healed, but really it's more of a spiral shape of continual healing and continual discovery of little wounded places. Wounding and healing go together all the way along.
No one will be surprised that I know you personally so I can say personally that you are a sensitive healer, able to perceive energy in many "modes". I know you will give lots of supportive health-and-healing direction to many women who want so strongly to get better and get happier and get
spiritual-er. Is that a word? Maybe not, but it works for me.
When the apostles were in emotional chaos after Jesus died, Mary Magdalene "turned their hearts toward the Good" and helped them focus on the teachings of the Way.
Thanks for all your efforts for women.
