“What a beautiful book! If we can learn to love the what we have been taught to fear—snakes, change, the dark, night, dreams, and so much more—then we can learn to love ourselves and our mother earth.” Carol P. Christ, author of Goddess and God in the World and A Serpentine Path.

“A wonderful introduction to and re-framing of the myth of the wise, powerful, fabulously snaky-haired Medusa. The magical pages of this gorgeous book teach children love for the Earth and for all of Her creatures.” Miriam Robbins Dexter, author of Whence the Goddesses: a Source Book; Sacred Display: Divine and Magical Female Figures of Eurasia (with Victor Mair); and editor of Foremothers of the Women’s Spirituality Movement: Elders and Visionaries (with Vicki Noble; includes an essay by Glenys Livingstone).

“I am awe struck at the beautiful job you have done in liberating Medusa from the stereotype, and elevating Her to a rightful place among the deities. You have spoken in poetic and innocent language, a re-enchantment of “the dark” that will lead us all, child and adult, into the soft warm darkness of the womb, the earth, and the cosmos. I will make it my business to be sure that little black girls in my circle of concern get to read and discuss the content of this work and to feast their eyes upon the exquisite artwork. Thank you for this masterpiece.” Yeye Luisah Teish, Yoruba Priestess, Teacher and Author of Jambalaya: The Natural Woman’s Book of Personal Charms and Practical Rituals.

“With simple words, appropriate for any child, My Name is Medusa is an easy discussion of our innate self. It’s an invitation to re-member exactly who we are, by Being exactly as we are. I really really love this book. There is an underlying depth to this story… a shamanic medicine… a dark secret tangled through bright imagery… a breath of wisdom in each page… a way of placing the reader within the part of the self that we call ‘home’.” Hollie B., the institute for self-crafting: and review by Hollie’s daughter Kiah included.
