Jailbreaking the Goddess

Mind Body & Soul Ezine Book Review: Jailbreaking the Goddess - Radical Revisioning of Feminist Spirituality - by Lasara Firefox Allen, published by Llewellyn Publications, paperback 267 pages US $22.99

This is a deconstruction guide for all you have been told about goddess spirituality and provides new language expertise to express the feminine. Challenging the reproductive model of maiden, mother and crone, this revision ing provides a 5 stage rather than 3 stage model: Fomella, Potens, Creatrix, Sapienyptia, Antigua. Many childless feminists will identify with this path. Colonial and patriarchal language is challenged to reclaim women’s spirituality which heralds a new paradigm, updates the pre existing culture. 

The author, Lasara Firefox Allen is married with two children living in California. She is a coach, an educator, an activist, a pagan witch. She offers online courses, workshops and retreats. She explains sovereignty, sexuality, gender roles, ethnicity, nationality and class, relationships, parenting, magic and spirituality. 

Well presented, this re-assessment is presented as a workbook with a novel and creative way of being a woman in today’s world with a willpower, faith and love combination. Part 1 is the 5 phases of womanhood, a ritual starting with a sigil for each stage. Part 2 describes building an ecological community that honours the land and conserves and protects our planet. Sincere, intelligent, caring, knowledgeable! If you are looking for a new way to walk the path of the goddess, building a relationship with Her - this is for you!
