<strong>André</strong> writes: "I’m a complementary therapist, living in London, working mainly with people experiencing emotional, psychological problems and trauma; stress, depression, anxiety, addictions, body image problems, eating disorders, etc. I became interested in complementary therapies while researching aspects of Eastern religions as a postgraduate student of Religious Studies at the University of London. Further studies of the close relationship between religion and health in Eastern cultures have inspired me to train in Reflexology and in various Oriental and European styles of Massage and Therapeutic Bodywork. I studied Psychology, and later Occupational Therapy at the London Hospital Medical College, and have also participated in research relating to the psychological aspects of therapeutic bodywork, touch and touch deprivation. My academic studies of Comparative Religion including Tao and Tantra and have also guided me to discover the Goddess.

Claire Hamilton

<strong>Claire Hamilton's</strong> story of Brighid comes from her book: Maiden, Mother, Crone: Voices of the Goddess which is published by O Books and which contains eleven other tales. Claire has written several books on Celtic and Arthurian Myths. Besides being a writer, she is also a harpist and storyteller. She was a speaker at the Goddess Conference in Glastonbury last year and says she feels particular inspired to help bring the stories of the Celtic Goddesses out of obscurity and into general consciousness. She believes that these powerful stories which have been preserved for thousands of years, are the vehicle through which the ancient Goddesses are rising to greatness once again. She also believes that modern society is desperately in need of the particular female blend of empathy and wisdom found in these stories, which can guide, instruct and nourish the souls of all spiritual seekers today.

Daniel McIlvenny-Cox

Daniel McIlvenny-Cox

As a child, Daniel daydreamed of distant lands and enchanted forests. Being spiritually aware at a young age was confusing and often challenging; being gay didn't help matters either. The descent into the underworld is always perilous, and his own decent came at a cost, at aged sixteen he called death, and death came that night in the form of meningitis meningococcal septicaemia. Twenty four hours later he was in resus. Despite what the doctors and surgeons told him, he made a full miraculous recovery, limbs intact. But something changed, still the journey was long dorm in the underworld, but something new was born. The journey lasted for almost another two decades before he found his true calling, in the form of a healing with a shaman - death was finally removed. And so it began, the path of shaman-hood, the path of a healer and the quest to portray the image of the Divine Feminine for all to see, through art and poetry, bringing Her back into our culture and society; back to our hearts and soul. Daniel lives in Berkshire where he practises shamanic healing sessions. He lives with his husband and their 20 month old son, and a cat called smudge.

I am also an artist and single parent who was blessed to raise the most wonderful son. I think I've always been a poet...some years the words flow, other years they're in that chaos state before birth. I have had many inspirations and muses in the course of my life - my loves and friends and family, my insatiable curiosity getting me into trouble, but most especially I am inspired by that spirit of being which has always seemed to me to flow through everything. Sometimes, if I'm lucky, it speaks to me. It's a tender, gentle voice at times, and at other times a ravaging cry... is it Dionysus, Ariadne, the sun or moon, my ancestors, my own soul? The world and life become more mysterious and unknowable the older I get.

Janie Rezner

I was born in 1933 and grew up on a farm in Illinois, deeply connected to the earth.   A  mother and grandmother,  I have performed music all  my life, inspired as a child by listening to my mother’s beautiful low voice. After graduating from Monmouth College, I married and raised my three children in Davenport, Iowa, at a time when neither of the words “relationship” or “sexual abuse” existed, and where much was suffered, especially by my children.    After forty-six years in the mid-west I moved to Berkeley California, received a master’s degree in clinical psychology, 1983, from John F. Kennedy University, expecting to be a healer in the world.  Instead, I began a profound spiritual journey inward, initiated by separation from Ed Jackson, a man I deeply loved and recognized as my soul mate.<em>The loss of the Mother, the sacred feminine, crushed by the patriarchal domination of the maternal spirit—a spirit that once filled our world with wisdom and compassion—and the subsequent devastating abuse of planet Earth, and all her inhabitants was powerfully revealed to me through that “crack in the cosmic egg.”</em> <strong>All of my words and music and art and life are devoted to “heralding the return of the Mother, our Great Ancestress, from the depth of soul into awakening consciousness.”   </strong>I am a programmer on listener-supported radio, KZYX in Mendocino County, on Women’s Voices,  interviewing courageous women who devote their lives to  making a difference in this troubled world. <a href="http://www.janierezner.com">www.janierezner.com</a> has photos of my early life, my writings, and art work—paintings, sculptures and ocarinas.  And my CD, <em>Oquawka Speaks the Words and Music of Mother God</em>.

I first heard of the Goddess when I was at school in Sheffield, and she has been calling me since then.  I have been so happy since we finally came together but maybe it was the right time.  I am very interested in holy wells and healing with crystals.  I have also studied herbal medicine. I have particular devotion to Isis, Hecate and Bride, quite a broad span across the pantheons!

Rita Lewis

Rita Lewis

Rita Lewis is a homeopath, herbalist and shaman. These exciting activities, as did the world of the Goddess, seemingly came late to her. After several nudges and many beautiful visions, the Goddess spoke through the plants in the garden. Here, Rita was inspired to bring together the different strands of her life's experience and, with the help of the Goddess, began to create flower essences and natural skincare balms. Rita presently lives in the heart of England with her partner of over forty years, and a very dignified Birman cat who also loves the plants. The countryside where she lives is wonderful and her garden is brimmingly alive with the Goddess, though Rita yearns to return to Norfolk, the place where she was born. She will always inhabit a garden with herbs, flowers and Goddesses, but she longs for the sea and the big Eastern skies full of flocks of travelling birds.

Suzanne Cheryl Gardner

Suzanne Cheryl Gardner is calling up feminine energy:  “The image of the ‘feminine/Goddess’ is key to the transformation of our culture.   As we begin to physically see new symbols of female power we are spiritually reminded of the importance of a life balanced with both feminine and masculine energy. Through symbolism, colour, and subject matter my images reveal a world that has been secreted away for too long. ‘Painting the Goddess’ or ‘The Sacred Divine Feminine’ has been my celebration of the ongoing rhythm of life.” Creating images for commercial ventures and illustration pieces for projects is part of Suzanne’s goal towards encouraging others to remember the feminine.  You may purchase prints, one-time rights to digital images, or note cards on her website at <a href="http://www.suzannesart.com">www.suzannesart.com</a> or email her at <a href="mailto:suz@suzannesart.com">suz@suzannesart.com</a>.

Theresa writes: "I accidentally got old and was accosted by Goddess to enter into crone-hood and complete my PhD dissertation on Her divine secrets invulving Vulva, as divulged by Herself. She pulled me to a powerful petroglyph sight in Nevada, and I was hit over the head with Her energy. Later I received a psychic reading and was told, "I see a large 'V.' There is some ancient knowledge that has disappeared due to the genocide of women and the influx of the (patriarchal) sky-gods." Anyway, my job is to allow myself communion with the collective unconscious, reclaim Her sacred knowledge, and welcome it forward. This is to retrieve the divinity of Vulva from Her distortion through the sterilization of medical science and the defication of pornography . If you have any info, please contact! (To contact Theresa write to Goddess Pages and we'll forward your email or letter).

Thorskegga Thorn

Thorskegga Thorn

Thorskegga Thorn is a priestess of the Heathen tradition dedicated the Norse thunder-god Thor. She runs the Heathen networking group Heathens For Progress, is a member of Pebble and helps to run several active Heathen Kindreds (ritual groups) in southern England. She has been writing articles on Heathen theology and giving talks and workshops for the last 15 years. She is a regular speaker at Heathenfest, the Beltane Bash, Halloween Festival and Pagancon. Thorskegga's spirituality emphasises the natural world, agricultural year and domestic skills which allies her with the agricultural deities of Heathenry and its goddesses. One of Thorskegga's ongoing projects is to reconstruct the myths from the perspective of a farmer or housewife rather than the military theme more familiar from the worship of Odin. Thorskegga's interests also spill over into social history, textile crafts, folksong and folkart. She is an obsessive craftswoman and has created two parade giants and numerous hand sewn parade parades which have been used in street parades as far afield as Tintagel and Canterbury. She has also created over 80 paintings depicting the Heathen gods and goddesses. Some of her work can be found on the <a href="http://www.thorshof.org">Thorshof website</a>

Weeza Potter

Weeza writes: "I live with my 2 children in rural Somerset where I value my contact with the Lady through nature and close knowledge of the changing seasons. For many years I practiced as a self taught kitchen witch and still enjoy growing and cooking my own food. I am a Priestess of Avalon. I have completed the 3-year training "In the Heart of the Goddess" led by Kathy Jones in Glastonbury. My love of being in nature, and a longing to celebrate the seasons and of Celtic legend, led me to Goddess spirituality. For many years circling round the fire with my women friends has been a source of healing and comfort to me. Training as a Priestess had enabled me to deepen this kind of simple experience and share it with others."

Zoe d'Ay

Zoé first saw light of day in September 1946 and has spent the greater part of her life exploring the world in which she found herself.  Many years were spent in the eastern tropics, north and south of the equator, leaving her with wondrous memories of adventures and no schooling to speak of.  Her life of frequent changes was imposed by circumstances and she pursued her own interests seriously, with no thought of making a living from them, or indeed from anything.  A natural trespasser, and regardless of the logic that refutes it, she is blessed with the sense that the whole world is hers. Zoé was encouraged to complete a Masters degree in 1996, and, moving to North Queensland to do it, promptly took up Scuba Diving.  While travelling through Turkey, Kurdistan and Uzbekistan in the late ‘80s she was also instrumental in rescuing a few Kurds along the way and for writing a liberating Constitution for those who managed to reach Australia.  She spent many years rescuing wild animals from various barbaric practices Downunder and, knowing she wanted to live amidst a gentler consciousness, one more attuned to the coexistence of the natural world, Zoé returned in 2000 to live in Glastonbury.  In 2009 she initiated and coordinated the Twinning between the town and the Greek island of Patmos.
