Stepping Into Ourselves

What is a priestess? Is she a ritualist? A leader? A shaman? A role model? A coach? A soothsayer? A sybil? Or is she all of these, or some of these, or none of these? This anthology is a vibrant tapestry of voices illuminating the roles and perspectives of priestesses in the ancient and modern worlds, and weaving them together to create the beautiful fabric of women's sacred service. The personal essays, academic articles, poetry, rituals and tools in this book will speak to your heart, inspiring you to step into your own spiritual authority.To see more about this volume and other Goddess Ink books, visit is at wwww.goddess-ink.com
