Goddesses: A Graphic History
Step into the world of goddesses, witches, rebels and queens in this fierce and fascinating graphic history. From ancient myths to modern magic, this is a bold celebration of divine power, identity and transformation.
Goddesses: A Graphic History is a bold and immersive graphic novel that reimagines ancient goddess traditions through the eyes of a modern-day seeker. Guided by the enchanting character of Lillith, readers are taken on a magical journey through Celtic England, Norse and Greco-Roman mythology, Turkey and ancient Egypt, uncovering mystical traditions, powerful deities, and long-lost wisdom.
Each stop on Lillith's path connects to a season and an elemental theme, blending myth, ritual, and storytelling with themes that feel strikingly currentβlove, matriarchy, female power, and gender fluidity. As Lillith learns from each goddess, she also finds connection, friendship, and transformation along the way.
Perfect for readers drawn to mythology, magic, and divine feminine energy, this is a beautifully illustrated spiritual adventure from the artist behind Witchcraft: A Graphic History.
