RECLAIMING THE WILD - BOOK
A Rites of Passage with 8 Goddess Archetypes and Associated Totem Bird Symbolism
‘Reclaiming the Wild’ is a Rites of Passage with 8 Goddess Archetypes and their mythologies. Each Goddess also has an associated Totem Bird that brings a message as the symbolic language of the ancient Bird Goddess.
In our modern day lives we have lost our connection to the pulse and rhythms of the earth and to the way the Goddess speaks to us through nature, and all Her beings. Through the rocks, the stones, the trees and all Her creatures. Through the wind, the sun, the moon and the stars and the many great Beings embodied in the land. And of course through the birds... This book is in honour of the ancient Bird Goddess, the Great Goddess, the Divine Feminine principal that sustains, nurtures and shapes our lives yet whose reverence is lost from our daily lives and conscious awareness.
Each section on the 8 Goddess Archetypes includes:
An image of the Goddess painted for the particular Archetype.
An Archetypal Story
Totem Bird Symbolism
Totem Bird in the Wild

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
There are eight sections to the Reclaiming the Wild book. Each section is on one Goddess Archetype with:
Her Artwork
An Archetypal Story
Totem Bird Symbolism
The habits and way of moving of that particular Totem Bird in the wild.
Followed by a Reflection Ritual and a Ritual Creativity.
Artwork
Each of the paintings brings unique medicine as a reflection of that particular frequency of the Goddess. Each one has been painted as a deepening meditation from the feather symbolism to the Goddess calling to make herself known. Just as this Rites of Passage reflects a journey of descent and the reclaiming of Sacred Essence - Reclaiming the Wild. Each painting has also been painted over each of the New Moon and Venus Conjunctions as Venus made her descent as a Morning Star into the Underworld. Which is connected mythologically to the descent of Inanna.
An Archetypal Story
Each Goddess has an archetypal story so you can feel into who she is, how she moves which leads you into connecting with how she speaks inside of you. You do not have to memorise or learn what you are reading. You can just allow the resonance of the words to land inside of you and see what opens and sings in the moment.
Totem Bird Symbolism
Each Goddess Archetype painting has a companion Totem Bird with her. They are entwined together in symbolism and meaning and this section speaks of what that symbolism is. This offers you a wider perspective on both the Goddess and the bird.
Totem Bird in the Wild
Here is where you can learn an overview about the particular Totem Bird in the wild and its habits, movements, way of being and its gifts. This supports broadening your understanding of them, the types of environment they inhabit, what their needs are and how birds can communicate to you.
Reflection Ritual
This is followed by a Reflection Ritual which are a set of questions that help you to look in places you might not normally look without a prompt. They are relational to the deeper dynamics behind the Goddess Archetype of that section. So they help you get deeper in tune with her whilst getting you look inside of you and inside your own life. Having a particular journal for your writing is a nourishing and transformative way to work with the Reflection Rituals.
Ritual Creativity
The purpose of a Ritual Creativity is to engage the creative power through taking a creative action that is reflective and supportive. They open up a deeper seeing or allows for a meaningful expression on each of the sections. Ideally you could create an art journal and fill it with your work and reflections as a Reclaiming the Wild Creativity Book.
