Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author P. C. Cast presents the first novel in her Goddess Summoning series... Home alone on the night of her twenty-fifth birthday, Air Force Sergeant Christine Canady yearned for something to cure her loneliness. After drinking too much champagne, she recited a divine invocation to revive her humdrum life. But how was she to know the spell would actually work? When her plane crashes into the ocean, CC’s life changes forever. She awakens, bewildered, to find herself in a legendary time and place ruled by magic—and in the body of the mythic mermaid Undine. But danger lurks in the waters, ready to swallow CC whole. Taking pity on her, the goddess Gaea turns her into a damsel, that she might seek shelter on land. But when a dashing knight comes to CC’s rescue—a dream-come-true she should be falling for—she instead aches for the sea and the darkly sexy merman who’s stolen her heart…

A celebration of female deities and spirituality, this collection of Goddess-themed meditations includes 52 entries, arranged according to seasonal potency. From the Butterfly Maiden of spring to the Rainbow Serpent of winter, each Goddess's mythological, historical, and geographical associations are explained, along with the spiritual practices connected with her. Accompanied by a glorious illustration, each entry also includes an "affirmation" to uplift and empower. Whether you invoke the name of a Goddess long worshipped in her corner of the world, such as Gaia, Kali, Artemis, and Aphrodite, or a newly "rehabilitated" entity, such as Lilith or Hectate, you will benefit from the creative, nurturing power of these female life forces. Throughout the year, each weekly meditation will bless, caress, and awaken you to the vast spiritual heritage of women's wisdom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many are familiar with Joseph Campbell’s theory of the hero’s journey, the idea that every man from Moses to Hercules grows to adulthood while battling his alter-ego. This book explores the universal heroine’s journey as she quests through world myth. Numerous stories from cultures as varied as Chile and Vietnam reveal heroines who battle for safety and identity, thereby upsetting popular notions of the passive, gentle heroine. Only after she has defeated her dark side and reintegrated can the heroine become the bestower of wisdom, the protecting queen and arch-crone.
