Description
Jailbreaking the Goddess is a revolutionary revisioning of the feminine divine. Where the maiden, mother, crone archetypal system is tied to female biology and physical stages of life, the fivefold model liberates the female experience from the shackles of the reproductive model.
In a woman's lifetime, she will go through several different cycles of beginnings, potential, creation, mastery, and wisdom. This fivefold model is not an adaption of the threefold. It is a new system that embraces the powerful, fluid nature of the lived experience of women today.
Join Lasara Firefox Allen as she explores the nature of the five archetypes; gives examples of what areas of life each might preside over; lists goddesses that fit within each archetype; suggests ways to begin building relationship with the different archetypes; and provides simple rituals for recognition, transition, and invocation.
Praise:
"Jailbreaking the Goddess is an important contribution to the writings on Goddess tradition and feminist spirituality...I love her political savvy, her sensitivity around issues of diversity and cultural awareness and appropriation, and her unabashed celebration of pleasure, sensuality, and life!"—Starhawk
"This fiercely inspired body of work is art, theory, and passion. Genius."—Rosa De Anda, from her foreword
"Lasara Firefox Allen delves deep into the ways in which colonialist language has shaped our experience of the divine feminine...This is an innovative work that has the potential to change the face of modern feminist spirituality."—Suzanne Sterling, founder of Voice of Change
Advance Praise
"For nearly 50 years I have been the consort of a most
extraordinary Woman/Priestess/Goddess. Lasara Firefox Allen's Fivefold Goddess Model
identifies and describes the Mysteries of Modern Woman, and comes dangerously
close to allowing me to at least hear Her sphinx's riddle."—Lon Milo DuQuette, author of Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot
