Description
Goddesses: A Graphic History is a visually rich and narratively bold exploration of sacred feminine power, retold through the journey of a curious modern-day seeker.
Led by the mysterious figure of Lilith, readers travel across time and space to meet powerful deities and rediscover long-lost rituals and symbols. From Celtic England to ancient Egypt, each chapter brings myth and magic to life through unforgettable storytelling.
Each leg of Lilith's journey is tied to a season, blending ancient wisdom with themes that resonate deeply today - including matriarchy, self-love and female friendship. As she moves through these sacred stories, Lilith finds meaning, connection and quiet transformation.
Goddesses: A Graphic History is a lyrical and timely journey for readers drawn to mythology, spirituality and divine feminine energy - from the artist behind Witchcraft: A Graphic History and with a foreword from poet Nikita Gill.
