Description

An initiation by fire – part of the Lost Archetypes of the Feminine
series.Nautilus Silver Award 2017 in the category ‘Women’.A word-of-mouth
phenomenon. Referenced by CNN in their reporting on the rise of modern
witchcraft, as well as by WeMoon, and shared by the singer P!nk on her social
media.Ever present in social media memes, and has inspired spin-off art,
music, tattoos and even a festival.A popular pick for book clubs.Burning Woman
is a breath-taking and controversial woman’s journey through history –
personal and cultural – on a quest to find and free her own power.
Uncompromising and all-encompassing, Pearce uncovers the archetype of the
Burning Women of days gone by – Joan of Arc and the witch trials, through to
the way women are burned today in cyber bullying, acid attacks, shaming and
burnout, fearlessly examining the roots of Feminine power – what it is, how it
has been controlled, and why it needs to be unleashed on the world during our
modern Burning Times. Burning Woman explores:Burning from within: a woman’s
power-how to build it, engage it and not be destroyed by it.Burning from
without: the role of shame, and honour in the time-worn ways the dominant
culture uses fire to control the Feminine.The darkness: overcoming our fear of
the dark, and discovering its importance in cultivating power.This incendiary
text was written for women who burn with passion, have been burned with shame,
and who at another time, in another place, would have been burned at the
stake. With contributions from leading burning women of our era: Isabel
Abbott, ALisa Starkweather, Shiloh Sophia McCloud, Molly Remer, Julie Daley,
Bethany Webster … Lucy Pearce has given voice to what a generation of women
are feeling and burning to express. This book is filled with our collective
calling, and inspires women to burn with our wild, fierce wisdom and
creativity, and to push forwards to fully occupy our equality. I celebrate
this book and celebrate and acknowledge Lucy Pearce as a wise, wild and
courageous woman who has written a very important book of our time. A must-
read for all women! A life-changing book that fills the reader with a burning
passion and desire for change! – Glennie Kindred, author and illustrator of
eleven books on celebrating the Earth and ourselves Burning Woman is a
passionate call to wake up both to our present reality and to entrance
ourselves to the remembrance of our power. Lucy’s prose is poetic, raw and
dances on the edge of outrageous – where outrageous means to defy what we have
been taught and have accepted to our detriment. I am proud to call myself a
burning woman. . . – Jane Meredith, author of Journey to the Dark Goddess and
Circle of Eight Lucy H. Pearce’s Burning Woman carries the torch of the sacred
Feminine into the dark corners of women’s unexpressed and unfulfilled desire
and power. She dares us to burn down that which does not serve life, to use
our fire to transform the world. – Oriah ‘Mountain Dreamer’ House Lucy Pearce
is a gifted writer, a gentle wayshower, and a fierce pioneer in these times of
global transformation. This book is a true gift and, if you are a woman ripe
for transformation, it can fan the inner flames, sparking you to own that fire
and let it burn all that is false within you, revealing the power that was
yours all along. Every woman should read this book! Thank you Lucy! – Bethany
Webster, Healing the Mother Wound In an era when Western feminism seems too
often about loudly celebrating woman as victim, this is a refreshing book.
Lucy’s vibrant words are a sound reminder, and a joy to read. – Emma Restall
