Author Description

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: 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.
