Beskrivelse
Mythology meets magical realism in these fresh stories of goddesses discovering their sacred callings. Persephone dons a black leather jacket over her flowery dress and sets out to find what is "real." Inuit Sedna's fingers turn into fishes and seals when her father chops at her knuckles in fear. Glispa leaves her Navaho grandmothers in order to take a shamanic journey. Aztec Xochiquetzal, queen of the flowers, reappears as our Lady of Guadalupe. The Egyptian goddess Nut who holds up the sky is befriended by scarabs who alter the course of the Nile. Iris has a crush on Morpheus, lazy god of dreams, but comes to her senses and moves to the American Southwest. A young girl is taught by animals to carry fire in skulls, discovers her parentage, and becomes the Baba-Yaga. Pele learns to control her fiery temper (and the volcano), but not before losing the love of her life. And five more stories.
