Pagan Portals - Flora: Roman Goddess of Flowers, Spring, and Sensuality
by Rachel Roberts (Goodreads Author) |

| I was sent an early version of this and really enjoyed it. I had never actually heard of this goddess so it was fascinating learning about her. Rachel's style of writing is accessible and very informative, her passion for the Roman world shines throu ...more | |

A fun read as I took a break from research and academia. I don't fully get the hype of these books but then I am not into mainstream over popularised literature either. That being said-- whatever gets people reading, then brilliant. This one is really ...more |

| A beautiful short novella about everything and nothing. Another great book about meandering thoughts and the interior life of a faceless woman. The prose is simple and beautiful and you really feel you are walking around Italian neighbourhoods with t ...more | |

This was a fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable read. As someone who enjoys researching ancient goddesses and their origins, I found it offered a fresh perspective on Aphrodite that challenged and expanded my understanding of her. I was particularly i ...more |

I wanted to love this book. The prose is beautifully poetic and whimsical, creating an atmosphere that feels dreamlike and enchanting. Unfortunately, the story itself never lived up to its promise for me. I found the writing style confusing at times, ...more |

| I mostly enjoyed this scholarly book about my home county. Lancashire is often overlooked within British history, and even less is known about its rich folkloric and pagan past, so I was pleased to find a collection that explored these themes in grea ...more | |

| Cross Creek is a gentle, atmospheric read filled with lush descriptions of Florida's landscape and wildlife. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings writes beautifully, bringing the natural world to life in a way that feels both vivid and comforting. It's the sort ...more | |

A strange and contradictory memoir that didn't feel sincere, I don't think this was the intention though. It felt slightly off kilter and delusional. Lisa constantly flits from expressing a hatred of fame and fortune, whilst also enjoying it and bein ...more |

I devoured this in a day. This was an engaging and enjoyable memoir that is as much about culture, family, and belonging as it is about love. Jennifer Klinec's journey into Iran through food offers a warm and intimate glimpse into everyday Iranian li ...more |

This was a sweet and nostalgic read to enjoy whilst sitting in the sun over these past few days. Maggie Smith comes across as honest, warm, and wonderfully down to earth throughout. My own family is of Romanichal heritage. My great grandmother was a R ...more |

“I call on your many names!
Inanna!
Asherah!
Ishtar!
Astarte!
Isis!
Aphrodite!
Great lady of the stars, sea and soil!!
From the Kopet Mountains to the Caspian Sea,
From my heart to the vault of the skies,
I am devoted to you in all languages and in all hearts,
And in all your names.
in all the rain soaked earth and in all the stars.
Asherah I cherish you,
My unbridled Queen of queens,
I bow to you,
I am bound to you,
Oh Sacred heart,
Great goddess of love and hate,
Of life and death, of passion and peace,
Of all the holy contradictions,
maiden of the ascension and descension,
of the looping serpent’s Ouroboros,
Guide me through my darkness,
So I may see the light.
So that I may rise from the fall,
With the wings of the dawn,
of your everlasting Arammu
Of your all-embracing Ahavah!
Excerpt from “Asherah: High Queen of Queens” - Featured in Asherah: Roots of the Mother Tree.”

“And so my advice to you is this:
Explore the wilderness in your heart.
Love vastly.
Daydream constantly.
Make love genuinely.
Dance regularly.
Breathe deeply.
Be nonsensical.
Unravel your shining soul.
And enjoy every moment.”
