”She could still hurt me - I never forgot the moment she told the first boy I loved that despite my pretty outside, I was rotten inside - but she couldn’t scare me.”

Mother love is a sacred concept in our culture, and like all things sacred it has a mythology of its own. There isn't any room in our ideal of "mother" [...] for the mother who doesn't love her child. As Western fairy tales make clear, cruel or uncaring mothers are never real biological mothers but interlopers or stepmothers instead. "Real" mothers neither hate nor envy; it's Rapunzel's jealous stepmother who locks her in the tower, just as Cinderella's rapacious one would consign her to a life of servitude.

Not just another list, this article outlines how to work with what keeps you stuck in circumstances that you want to change. “Letting go of something or someone we once deemed important or valuable is much harder than hanging on.”
Altars Made Easy - by Peg Streep
Just finished reading this, and it was pretty interesting! I'll get a review typed up, but for a quick summary:
A bit new-agey and Goddess/Women-centric but not cringeworthily so. She uses examples of various culture's Sacred Spaces with the usual problems, but at least she's usually good at specifying which particular tribe/culture she's talking about.Â
If you ignore the deity section (some common errors... Hekate the Crone, Bast the all-loving Moon goddess etc) then the rest of the references are pretty good.
Streep provides some great examples and different perspectives on sacred space and what it can/should be. She gives ideas for Altars for all occasions, not all spiritual. She gives plenty of ideas of what you could include in your space without being preachy and saying "you must have this". There's no "real spiritualist" mentions or implications that if you don't do something a certain way, then you're wrong.
Overall, I liked it. I'd recommend it to all experience levels and I think it's something that most paths could relate to and get something from.
