This is <em>so<\/em> nifty! Along with several sister scholars from CIIS, I have two articles in the beautiful new little anthology <em>Unto Herself: A Devotional Anthology for Independent Goddesses<\/em> which was put out by Bibliotheca Alexandrina and edited by Ashley Horn. Gleeee! Isn&#8217;t it <em>beautiful<\/em>?! :)<\/p>\n<p>Okay! So, official-like stuff here: I wrote two articles &#8212; one on Tabiti, Goddess of primal fire, and supreme Goddess of the Central Asian nomads from the late Bronze and early Iron Ages. The other was a midrash of the Lokasenna (or Flyting of Loki) &#8212; rewritten to depict Freyja, the Ancient Norse Goddess of Love and Death, righteously confronting those male gods who belittled and\/or did not defend her honor during Loki&#8217;s flytings.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a <i>lot<\/i> of other beautiful work in the book &#8212; glancing over it quickly, I see a lovely mix of poetry, stories, ritual, more scholarly work, prayers, and more! There are over 60 contributions to this marvelous anthology, all honoring those fascinating, complex, often contradictory-seeming Goddesses who are complete unto themselves, and who teach us how to be so as well.<\/p>\n<p>Also, you can find the book for sale from the Bibliotheca Alexandrina here: <a href=\"http:\/\/neosalexandria.org\/bibliotheca-alexandrina\/current-titles\/parthenos-anthology\/\" target=\"_blank\">Unto Herself<\/a> &#8212; and alternatively you can also find it on amazon here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Unto-Herself-Devotional-Anthology-Independent\/dp\/1478174072\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1344565119&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=unto+herself+a+devotional+anthology+for+independent+goddesses\" target=\"_blank\">Unto Herself<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Woohoooo! I am SO EXCITED! Pardon me, I&#8217;m heading off to do the happy-Collie-dance now ;) &#8212; oh! Also, if you get the book and read it, please please let me know what you think? I would <em>love<\/em> to hear other folks&#8217; thoughts as well on my scholarly writings!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>-EEEEEEEEEE!! I am SO EXCITED my books arrived today!
