This book seems to find itself in the laps of women at times they need it most.
Times where the war between her culture and her spirit force her raising of a white flag. She is defeated and disparaged. The catch trap has no intention of releasing his jaws. Exhausted into a numbed state, she cannot even muster the energy to lick and tend to her wounds.
That is the story of the women who come across this novel.
But alas, she stumbles upon a healing well. Every cell of her body is called and accounted for, imbued with this water, and replenished. She is renewed and raised from her walking death.
Clarissa writes with a beautiful, intellectual, poetic prose, and it is NOT FOR EVERYONE. She is a senior Jungian analyst and cantadora (story keeper) so if archetypal study and mythical tropes are not interesting to you, this may not be the book to awaken your spirit.
This book is especially for women who:
Have lost their spirit spark
Have lost their sense of self
Have lost their voice
Have been abandoned
Have abandoned themselves
Have been isolated
Have been demonized and cast away
Have been confused about their place in the world
Have been told women are bad or meant to stay quiet
Have become fed up
Have been called “witch”
