' There can be a perverse pleasure, as well as a sense of rightness and beauty, in insisting on flowering just when the world expects you to become quiet and diminish. ' Sharon Blackie For any woman over fifty who has ever asked ' What now? Who do I want to be? ' comes a life-changing new book showing how your second half may be your most dynamic yet. Rich with the combination of myth, landscape and eco-feminism that took her earlier work If Women Rose Rooted to cult status, Hagitude reclaims the mid years as a liberating, alchemical moment - from which to shift into your chosen, authentic and fulfilling future. Drawing inspiration from mythic figures and archetypes ranging from the Wise Woman and the Creatrix to the Henwife and the Trickster, as well as modern mentors, Sharon Blackie radically rewrites the future for women in their mid and elder years.
' Hagitude has the power to change lives. By sharing her personal story alongside potent female figures from myth and history, Sharon Blackie offers us a rich and exciting vision of how we can grow into a more connected and creative second half of life. Full of fierce energy, this is a book that acts like a ration of courage, of purpose. ' - Tanya Shadrick, author of The Cure For Sleep' Like all Blackie' s works it is erudite, wise, passionate and empowering - a feast and a joy of a book. ' - Sophie Anderson, author of The House On Chicken Legs
Dr Sharon Blackie is an award-winning writer and internationally recognised teacher whose work sits at the interface of psychology, mythology and ecology. Her unique approach to working with myth, fairy tales and folklore highlights the insights these traditions can offer us into authentic and meaningful ways of being which are founded on a deep sense of belonging to place, a rootedness in the land we inhabit. Her first non-fiction book, If Women Rose Rooted, became a word-of-mouth ecofeminist bestseller across the UK and North America. Her second, The Enchanted Life, offers insights into the art of belonging, and the everyday magic that comes from deepening our connection to the natural world. Foxfire, Wolfskin and Other Stories of Shapeshifting Women is her first collection of short stories. Her work has been translated into multiple languages. Sharon lives on a smallholding in the Cambrian mountains of Mid Wales with her husband and dogs. ww. sharonblackie. net
