In this special episode of Popcorn Therapy, Julie reads a story from her new book Maiden, Warrior, Mother, Crone. This is a reimagining of Persephone's story based in myth and history that brings forth her agency and queenliness. Edited from live, you'll also hear discussion and questions from the participants listening all about the story and the book and Julie's experience writing this book. Maiden, Warrior, Mother, Crone, published by Verbena Books, is filled with stories about the divine feminine from all over the world. Goddesses and figures from folklore teach us about the archetypes of Maiden, Warrior, Mother, and Crone. Pick it up wherever you get books, and stay tuned for more storytime in the future.

With thanks to Ruthanne, Stephen, Mary, Mindy, and Kitty, who generously gave me permission to use their comments and questions in this recording.

This story is also inspired by a version by Natalie Rousseau, who you can hear on several episodes of Popcorn Therapy. See the book Lost Goddesses of Ancient Greece by Charlene Spretnak for more.
