Healing with the Gods and Goddesses

Healing with the Gods and Goddesses:
Divine Allies on Your Journey to Health

Are you sick or hurt? Of course you’re taking responsibility for your healing by staying hydrated, getting plenty of rest, following doctor’s orders, yada yada. But what about the spiritual side of healing? We have divine allies and companions, why not involve them? Plus, as far as we could tell, no one had written a compendium of healing deities from many cultures. It was a big gap in the literature, so we filled it.

When faced with illness or injury, people throughout the ages and all over the world have asked goddesses and gods of medicine, health, and healing for their help. You can do the same. Whether you think of ancient deities as psychological archetypes, powerful spirit beings, different aspects of a single Creator, or something else… doesn’t matter. Whatever their nature, they have been essential to our species since the dawn of humanity, and working with them affects our emotions and thoughts, and thus even our biochemistry.

In addition to gods and goddesses you’ve heard of—Isis and Brigit, Apollo and Hygieia—many less well known are waiting for you in these pages: Babalú Ayé, Ebisu, Heka, Nehalennia, Tawaret, and many more. Think of these as hidden treasures now come to light, spiritual resources waiting centuries or millennia for your call, to answer your need.

This book doesn’t offer easy answers or instant miracles. We don’t even provide canned prayers to the various divinities we describe. We do, however, describe many ways to form a relationship with a healing deity or Divine Array, how to honor and work with them, and how you can help manifest health on the physical plane. This path requires your serious effort. “The gods help those who help themselves.” Be prepared to do some work. Cooperate with your physicians and healers to help your body here on the material plane, then open yourself to the radiant love of your allies in Spirit.

A Few Reviews

Making it manifest in one’s life

Like the cover image, the book shines like the rays of morning sunlight climbing out of the darkness of night. Refreshing to see such a “down to earth” presentation of how to actually go about connecting with goddesses and gods. Rather than float through new-age imagery and thoughts about the Supernatural and why one should or should not believe in these things, they present more of a “roll up your sleeves” and do it approach that bypasses the arguments about whether or not to believe in these things and simply presents a wide range of methodologies for making it manifest in one’s life. It brings the reader face to face with the reality of living every moment with an awareness of ones spirituality, a work in progress that is never ending. Like the Nike ads extol: “Just do it!”
