If Women Rose Rooted: The Power of the Celtic Woman by Sharon Blackie
5.0
"If women remember that once upon a time we sang with the tongues of seals and flew with the wings of swans, that we forged our own paths through the dark forest while creating a community of its many inhabitants, then we will rise up rooted, like trees. And if we rise up rooted, like trees . . . well then, women might indeed save not only ourselves, but the world."

I do not know much about my Celtic ancestry, only that many of my family began in the British Isles. Reading this work by Sharon Blackie was such a gift: in this she explores the ways mythologies show the links between women and the earth, exploring her own Celtic background. She argues for the Eco-Heroine's journey, and women's journey to rediscovering themselves while she also weaves in Celtic myths. I really loved this a lot!
