Full Description
A visually rich and narratively bold exploration of sacred feminine power, retold through the journey of a curious modern-day seeker.
From the series that brought Witchcraft: A Graphic History and Tarot: A Graphic History, comes Goddesses: A Graphic History. This latest volume reclaims goddess traditions from around the world, blending mythology, ritual and feminist history.
With a foreword by poet and author Nikita Gill - who also makes a guest appearance in illustrated form as one of the novel's characters - this graphic history guides readers on a transformative journey led by the mysterious figure of Lilith. Travelling across time and place, readers encounter powerful deities and rediscover long-lost rituals and symbols - from Celtic England to ancient Egypt and beyond - revealing how goddess figures continue to shape our understanding of power and identity.
Across its chapters, readers will explore:
Sacred stories retold: timeless myths reinterpreted through a modern feminist lens.
A global journey: deities, rituals and symbols from cultures across the world.
Seasonal cycles: each leg of Lilith's journey tied to a season, representing growth, change and transformation.
Empowering themes: of matriarchy, self-love and female friendship.
Visual storytelling: striking artwork and lyrical narration that bring myth and meaning to life, from the same artist behind Witchcraft: A Graphic History.
As with the previous books in the series, Goddesses: A Graphic History combines meticulous research with artistic flair, offering readers a fresh and inclusive way to engage with ancient traditions.
This is a book to inspire curiosity, reflection and reverence for the sacred feminine - perfect for display on any altar, coffee table or collector's shelf.
