I plan these journeys months in advance…and then a few days before I realize I’m NOWHERE near ready to leave town.
Part of that is my Cancerian nature: thinking I need to finish EVERY house project before I get on a plane. And part of it is being a single mom/writer/business owner who has every block of time filled!
Either way, I am NOT ready to head to the upper midwest this week.
But I cannot wait. <3
Will I see you in Fort Wayne? Or Yspilanti?
If not, will I see you online?
Or here in Portland in April?
Indiana!!!
I have some loved ones in Indiana and yet I’ve never visited their beautiful state! Are you one of those loved ones? Will I see you in Fort Wayne?
The Dangerous Goddess
When is a goddess bad, good, or misunderstood? What if a goddess is a little bit of each? Can a fertility goddess be vengeful? Would a death goddess offer comfort? Contemporary goddess worship is quick to label goddesses as “dark” or “light,” without considering the nuances and context of the era from which they originated. By looking at the powerful contradictions within Brigid, Hekate, and The Morrigan, we will explore the “scarier” parts of these three goddesses, and discuss the importance of becoming comfortable with these aspects both in the goddesses and in ourselves.
6:00 p.m. Book signing.
7:00 p.m. Workshop begins.
