Return to Inanna Christine Irving

Christine Irving has taken on the archetypal myth of Inanna's descent/dismembering/and ascent through clear, readable poetry that brings the story to contemporary life. And then she guides readers through an intentional ritual designed for modern women to symbolically understand this myth in terms of their own life journeys. What a bold endeavor! If you just read this book, you'll gain tremendous insight. If you practice the ritual, you will be transformed. Christina Baldwin Author of Storycatcher, Making Sense of our Lives through the Power and Practice of StoryVisionary. Poetic. Fierce. Now this is how a goddess myth should appear. Savor this. It's a masterpiece. Normandi EllisAuthor of Awakening OsirisA return to Inanna is a return to self. This book in three modes spans the past, present and potentially your own future to demonstrate the sacred healing balm of ritual lamentation. I highly recommend this unique work that is both poetry and guidebook to your own journey of renewal. Read it aloud. Share it with others." Mary K.
