Healing Goddesses<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Like so many others this week, I am saddened and devastated by the recent racist murders in South Carolina, US. In memory and honor of those whose lives were taken and in hopes that this country, and this world can begin to heal the hatreds that tear it apart, this month\u2019s Goddess column will be on just a few of the Healing Goddesses, whom I ask to please look kindly upon us all.<\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
