Ariadne's Thread: A Workbook of Goddess Magic

Ariadne's Thread is a workbook that revisits the myth of Ariadne, asking whether the ancient Greek telling of her story is the only version worth keeping. The author argues that women's spiritual freedom from patriarchal limits can help change the world, not by reversing hierarchy into rule by women but by building a peaceful, fair and sustainable society that values care and nurturing in people of any gender.

Drawing on old stories and on archetypes, the book explores the Maiden, Mother and Crone as they guide the cycles of life. It includes rituals tied to lunar and natural rhythms, meant to draw readers from the everyday into a more mysterious way of seeing their own lives.

Written as a path of discovery into goddess spirituality, it invites women to find their own way.
