Book Overview

by Katie Ness (Author)

Ancient priestesses of antiquity wrote and performed poetic incantations to the gods - discover the forgotten magic of women's voices, our poetry magic, our word witchery - she who weaves worlds with words!

Ancient priestesses of antiquity wrote and performed poetic incantations to the gods. Discover the forgotten magic of women's voices, of their poetry, and their word witchery! Poetry priestesses have been practising the art of poetry as spells for thousands of years. From Enheduanna of Sumer, invoking Inanna, to Sappho of Lesbo's connection to Aphrodite and Princess Gwenllian, daughter of the King of Gwynedd, said by some to be the author of the Mabinogi, those women and many more used their voices through poetry to connect to the divine feminine within and around them. Word Witchery helps readers connect to the women and deities associated with poetry and the magical word, and includes activities and journaling practices.
