The Sacred House by Carolyn Hillyer


The Sacred House by Carolyn Hillyer


Weaving together profound stories, original source materials and lyrical texts, this extraordinary book travels a spiralling route around the hearth fire of a sacred ceremonial house, gathering up the words that are fed into the ancient flames.

Drawing on over 30 years of being absorbed in women’s work (political, spiritual, creative and magical), and decades spent as a workshop creator, song writer, intuitive painter and inhabitant of hills and moors, Carolyn has written a book that describes a deep mythology for women in relation to earth, spirit mothers, mystical journeys, sisterhood and the unfolding landscape of our travelling souls, as well as a view through a personal window into life and wild land.

Here are stories are of...

 Returning home, constant rivers & ancient paths...
 Feeding the soul & gathering the harvest of songs...
 Binding power & the work of wise hands...
 Womanhood & the mysteries of blood and moon...
 Lost clans, remembered ancestors & sacred lovers...
 Protection, deep magic & old knowledge...
 Darkening shadows, death totems & intuitive voices...
 Weaving the land, wild places & the turn of seasons...
 Deep winter, ice warriors & the web of mother lines...
 Primordial rhythms, prayer dances & drum rituals...
 Grieving hearts, unbound spirits & distant terrains...
 Sisterhood, strong circles & shared journeys...
 The dances of life & bright joy...

 400 pages / 235mm x 160mm / with colour plates

A truly beautiful and profound book, a life-work, which speaks those who have enjoyed and been both challenged and nurtured by Carolyn's music, her books, her art, over many years - and for those new to Carolyn a deep insight into the joy, grief and potential of spiritual sisterhood.
