Polishing the Multi-Faceted Diamond of You: Launching Mothers & Crones

Recently, I’ve been blessed by being interviewed by two truly special ladies, Jackie Walker and Sara Blackthorne. As is so often the case when you’re interviewed, you discover new things about yourself that you didn’t know before. Given the focus and the space to express our thoughts, it can be very illuminating to see what we come up with!

In my interview with Jackie, she asked me, “What advice would you give others who don’t yet like themselves?” And my answer?

If you don’t like yourself yet, then it’s only because you don’t truly know yourself yet. Self knowledge is the route to self love. There are so many juicy courses and workshops and books and programs out there all designed to help you unveil another aspect of who you are. With each veil removed, you can shine your light brighter and brighter. And pretty soon, you won’t be able to help but to love who you are!

And Sara asked me, ‘What is one thing you suggest women can do to move forward in their personal journey with integrity and wholeness?’

It would be to embrace the fact that we are multi-faceted beings, and that each facet we reveal to ourselves and the world enables us to shine our light brighter and brighter. The goddesses can help us explore these different facets in a really beautiful way because these are ancient narratives that lead us back to our core, our essence.

I finished that interview with this call:

Give yourself the gift of self-exploration. I can think of no single greater gift to give the world than showing up and shining your light, and you do this by polishing the multi-faceted diamond of you.

When I read both of these answers back, a penny dropped for me. I have a strong and abiding belief that to know, is to love, is to shine. I’m here to help you show up and shine, and I do this by giving you the tools to know yourself.

The goddesses offer such a rich and juicy way to explore the many facets of you. Their stories are as old as time, and yet utterly timeless.

Today, I want to share with you my latest collection of goddess narratives in the hope that they help you to reveal another facet, to help you shine even brighter than you already do.

Mothers and Crones is a work of love. It explores 6 goddess stories – 3 mother goddesses & 3 crone goddesses…

•  Isis: An Ancient Egyptian goddess to help you mother yourself back to wholeness. Sometimes we experience a fragmentation of self. This tends to happen when we leave a particular phase behind in our life and we are left, for a time, wondering who we are and how do we move forward. Isis holds the space for you to pick up the pieces.
• Haumea: A beautiful Hawaiian goddess who is known as the divine midwife, Haumea is credited with teaching women how to give birth to their children. And yet, this goddess teaches us how to birth all manner of offspring, from babies to businesses, from artwork to a new sense of self. What will you be birthing with her help?
• Demeter: The Ancient Greek goddess who wandered the globe in search for her lost daughter is, perhaps, one of the most well-known of the goddesses included here. A story perfect for recent empty-nesters, but also for all of us who have difficulty letting go of our children (whether these be actual children or creative projects, friendships, businesses, books etc.). Here we learn to release.
• Cerridwen: Ah – the power of story! That’s what Cerridwen, the crone goddess of Wales teaches us. In this retelling we find out all about her dealings with Gwion Bach, the first Welsh bard, and we discover how important our own story is to both teller and listener.
• Baba Yaga: So often represented as the wicked witch or the bad fairy of folk and fairy tale, Baba Yaga is the Germanic crone who gifts us with challenges so that we might grow strong and resourceful. With my retelling of the story of Vasilisa and Baba Yaga, I’m hoping to change your perspective of her from a tormentor to a benefactor.
• Hecate: The most most elusive of all the goddesses, Hecate’s story did not want to be written. Her words eventually came through in a slightly different form, but a form which I think you’ll find just as powerful as the more conventional story. She’ll speak to you of initiation, independence, loss and the humble gift of witnessing.
