Editorial Reviews

These stories bring the goddess home. Entertaining and psychologically perceptive, this collection produces magic while also bringing us a larger vision of daily life.”
—Susan Griffin, author of Woman and Nature

“In The Well of Truth, the heroine uses loss as a spiritual well to draw from, which empowers her and others, and most of all gives her agency to connect to Mother Earth in a woman’s way.”
—Michele Ritterman, PhD, author of The Tao of a Woman and Hope Under Siege

“The Well of Truth is an amazing, magical decoder for the mysteries of being a woman, revealing the expanded mythic and archetypal potential of each stage of life. Like the waters at the well, this book mirrors deep truths you will instantly recognize in yourself.”
—Ariel Spilsbury, author of The Mayan Oracle, The 13 Moon Oracle, The Alchemy of Ecstasy, and Gaia’s New Dreamcoat

“Gould has a knack for making the divine tactile. Her characters are textured, complicated, and utterly believable but they are also portals to the uncanny and miraculous experience of the sacred. A nourishing read.”
—Sophie Strand, author of The Flowering Wand
