Juno Lucina (Book) - 9/10/2002 4:29:35 PM
Winner of the WordWeaving Award of Excellence: The moon goddess Juno, the goddess of marriage and of childbirth; of death, renewal and purification serves as powerful motif in JUNO LUCINA by Mandy Hager. Heroine Tess struggles with each aspect of the goddess in this journey of self-discovery and new beginnings. From early childhood, Tess has fled the image of the wolf that stalks her dreams and a howl in the night, believing only its preoccupation with the light of the moon distracts it from pursuing her. Tess' fear echoes the contemporary human condition as it reflects our common battle with grief, loss, and survival. In addition, Hager displays a remarkable understanding of goddess worship and a deep respect for the women who pursue this path of spirituality. This powerful, poignant novel comes very highly recommended.
