About this listen
Nautilus Gold Award 2023
The greatest story you've never been told is Hers!
Home to Her takes us on a journey, personal and collective, through time and place, to remember and reconnect with the lost and stolen wisdom of the Sacred Feminine, an ancient Divine force known intimately by ancestral peoples around the world.
While in some cultures She remains a vibrant, living force, in the West Her wisdom and traditions have been lost or buried by patriarchal religions and traditions.
- Stories and evidence demonstrating the power and presence of the ancient Sacred Feminine from every corner of the globe,
- Insights into what Her wisdom represents, how it differs from other spiritual traditions and what it has to offer us today,
- How to reconnect with the Sacred Feminine as a real, tangible force for good in your own life.
By reclaiming Her powerful wisdom, we reclaim our sovereignty and our ability to dream a more just, equitable dream for our future one that honors the sacredness of all life.
Liz Childs Kelly is the host of the popular Home to Her podcast, which features interviews with some of the leading thinkers and practitioners of our time from diverse cultures, devoted to the Sacred Feminine.
©2022 Liz Childs Kelly (P)2024 Liz Childs KellyIt is very engaging and wide ranging. It definitely expanded by understanding.
There are reflective questions at the end of each chapter and other experiential ways to welcome the listener/reader into the subject matter.
It is very permissive and inviting in terms of readers deciding what kind of relationship they want to have themselves with the sacred feminine or whatever words to describe her they prefer.
I see this book in some ways…in many very positive ways, as a bridging book between the foremothers of the women’s spirituality movement and the new generation who both build on what has gone before and quite rightly go in their own ways. The scope is after all limitless!
The book grapples with the vey real and challenging reality of what it means and feels like not to have been brought up within a nurturing sacred feminine community and how to incorporate the positive aspects of the religious and spiritual traditions we did and do have access to.
It’s also very moving, humorous and fun. The author dismisses ‘woo’, but I found it very quirky at times which for me added to the experience.
There were a couple of things that upset me significantly enough to mention in what was otherwise a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
The first was how Marija Gimbutas and her work was spoken of. I feel that she was significantly misrepresented. Marija did not in fact speak of the sacred feminine as ‘Mother Goddess.’ She explicitly and extensively wrote in her books like ‘the language of the Goddess’ that the Sacred Feminine is much more than this. She referred to her as ‘The Great Goddess of birth, death and regeneration’, death wielder and many other things which the archetype of Mother and the relatively modern term ‘Goddess’ do not adequately describe everything that she is.
The second thing was the unexplored or substantiated reference to violence in Old Europe and the so called ‘controversy’ around Marija’s work which was in fact a deliberate undermining of her extensive archeological findings by male colleagues especially on the subject of the ‘Kurgan’ invaders. When her theories were proved by DNA, they were forced to eat their words and accept her work, which unfortunately only happened after her death.
Thank you very much for this book Liz. I think it’s fabulous and incredibly important for the times we are living through.
Extremely engaging and informative book on the sacred feminine
