KISSING THE HAG: The Dark Goddess and the Unacceptable Nature of Woman
The Atlantis Bookshop, 49a Museum Street, London WC1A 1LY
Workshop and Book Launch
Emma Restall Orr's book, Kissing the Hag, is about the many faces of the dark goddess of nature and how she has a tendency to make us impossible and miserable. It is an uncompromising book, thick with women's stories, taking the reader from the wild freedom of childhood, and on through the complications of our female nature: the dismissive and frigid, the promiscuous, the needy and demanding, the destructive, the manipulative, to the boring old bag. It is a thought-provoking book, a challenging book, and perhaps most of all a book of devotion. The workshop will be an opportunity to explore these aspects of nature - it is for wild women devoted to the dark goddess and those who fear her, and for the men who have to deal with women who are bloody wonderful and bloody difficult.
Emma Restall Orr is head of The Druid Network, an organisation she set up after stepping away as joint chief of The British Druid Order in 2002. She founded Honouring the Ancient Dead (HAD) in 2004, an advocacy group working with archaeologists, museums and heritage bodies about increasing respect for ancient British human remains. She is a teacher, priest and writer, her previous books including Living Druidry, Druid Priestess and Ritual.
