Cynthia MacAdam’s iconic 1983 book, Rising Goddess, imagines an island of women. Free from man and man-made things. Nothing separating woman from nature, nothing separating woman from her nature.
Only naked backs curved like puzzle pieces over ancient rocks. Bare breasts embraced by warm sand. Veins stretched like tree roots across pregnant bellies.
It’s a striking reminder of how perfectly we fit into the natural world and also how alienated we are from it. Case in point: our genitals never get to see the sun. Quite honestly that’s starting to feel like a big big problem to me!
This book will inspire you to do just that, and remind you to connect to your primal nature. It’s one of my favorite ever, and very rare.
