Pages: 45 Cards & 224-page Guidebook

For this deck, Bronwyn Millar created cards for forty-five goddesses, merging the five elements of Chinese medicine, the four Western elements, trauma healing, acupoint practice, and channeled Goddess wisdom from dimensions where the sacred feminine is active.

These elemental goddesses are grouped by the Chinese elements – wood, fire, earth, metal, water. Their Western elements of fire, water, air, and earth are also noted on each card, along with what it means when these two systems marry. The cards feature a hand-drawn, detailed, symbolic portrayal of each Elemental Goddess.

These are not the goddesses from familiar pantheons, but rather some are named for the enigmatic names of Chinese acupoints (Goddess of the Celestial Pillar), and others for their deeper theme (Goddess of the Weeping for the World). Each revealed herself to Bronwyn “during dimensional-crossing meditations.” They are meant to help with the transition from the masculine Piscean age heavy on math and science to the feminine age of Aquarius mysticism, kindness, healing, and intuition.

In the accompanying guidebook, the author defines all of the elements. She explores each goddesses’ elemental aspects, her purpose, guidance, the corresponding emotions, and an affirmation and a meditation to help integrate the lesson. A kinesiologist, Bronwyn also includes the acupoint and meridian associated with each goddesses’ purpose. These points are on the pathways along which chi (the body’s life force) moves. Stimulating them affects the flow, with the goal of using them to return to sacred balance.

For three to four pages, these goddesses share their wisdom about releasing shame, trauma, and taboos – showing readers how to love their bodies and embrace the feminine power and magic always present within.

In practice, you would press, rub, hold, or gently brush the specific acupoint while completing the meditation. I like being able to connect a point on the body that triggers healing I can do myself, but I found it difficult to be touching a body part, holding the book, and focusing on the exercise, which has questions and often activities. I think I would get more out of listening to a recording of myself reading the instructions, with appropriate pauses. Because I do not regularly work with many goddesses, and have made up some as needed (Goddess of Laughter, Goddess of Green Lights, Goddess of GPS, Goddess of the Perfect Comeback) so I was happy to see a Goddess of Old Ghosts, Goddess of the Safe Haven, and others to address specific needs.

Given the multifaceted information provided for each goddess, readers can choose how deeply they want to immerse themselves in this practice. I think most people can find cards that represent women in their lives … or themselves.
