About this title

Synopsis

As the millenium approaches, we are drawn to modern Goddess spirituality. By sharing our personal spiritual experiences with each other, Rae Beth feels the world will change. She goes within for this book of recollections, inner guidance, and ancient teachings. She explains individual reincarnation as a microcosm of Earth's great cycles of existence, as a means of developing the love and wisdom needed to manifest the true beauty of the spirit realm. Along with structions for recalling past lives and developing psychic skills, she gives descriptions of the Otherworld (where we go between lives) as the land of the Dark Goddess--the Queen of the Dead. This is not a fearsome place, but a joyful spirit land where healing flows, whether we approach it from its peripheries in deams, meditation, or between incarnations. Rae Beth also includes thoughtful interpretations of various myths of the Goddess in her many aspect--sIsis, Kali, Mary Magdalene, Persephone, and Tiamet--to name a few. This book looks at reincarnation from the viewpoint of a presentday priestess who honors the Deep Feminine, of the Goddess, as Mother of Souls, as the Earth Mother of physical existence. This sharing vision is relevant to us all, in our process of discovery and rebirth.

About the Author

I was born in Sussex in 1951 but have lived in the West of England for most of my life, drawing inspiration from its woods, hedgerows, hills, rivers and springs and sacred sites. I am an environmentalist as well as a spellcaster – and passionate about the landscapes of Britain.
As a child, I liked to explore the countryside, to ride horses and to write poems and stories. And I did all the usual teenage things – parties, pop music, boyfriends and so on. In adult life, I fell in love a lot, had two children, and continued exploring the countryside. I now live in Somerset with Ashley, my husband and magical partner.
