Archetypes exist outside of time, unconcerned with the realities of a woman’s life or her needs. When goddesses exert an influence, the woman as heroine must say yes, or no, or not now to the demands.” — Jean Shinoda Bolen

Are you an evolutionary woman pushing 30, staring down 50, or slaying it at 80? 7 Greek Goddesses have it all figured out! Celebrate them as they inspire you with their strengths and savvy coping skills — as relevant today as they were when Aphrodite charmed the Gods and Artemis lived by her wits and physical prowess.

Each one of the seven Greek Goddesses represents a unique personality type that can be seen throughout the world. Picture the archetypes of ‘mother,’ ‘lover,’ or ‘artist.’ It’s easy enough to see that they each embody a different set of behaviors, values, voices, perspectives and experiences.

In A Mythic Sisterhood, seven Goddesses — Persephone, Demeter, Aphrodite, Hera, Athena, Artemis and Hestia — leap from the pages of ancient myths to ignite your imagination and deepen your resolve to experience life today to the fullest. Now dressed in contemporary garb, this sisterhood will guide you, through current examples, to avoid their limitations and cultivate their strengths, learn to move through transitions without panic, change outdated habits and make choices that lead to further possibilities for your best life.

• Persephone – a lightening rod for disaster becomes accountable
• Demeter – the nurturer is pregnant with her own possibilities
• Aphrodite – lusty lover girl moves beyond the boudoir
• Hera – homefront heroine takes on her true identity
• Athena – career woman incorporates feminine values
• Artemis – kick ass pathfinder builds her own team of activists
• Hestia – wise woman stays balanced through adversity

Throughout our life we play multiple roles: teenager, lover, career woman, wife, mother, activist, wise woman. A Mythic Sisterhood will help you deepen the core meanings of these phases and increase another aspect of your personal power.
