Goddesses: A Graphic History is a visually rich and narratively bold exploration of sacred feminine power, retold through the journey of a curious modern-day seeker.Led by the mysterious figure of Lilith, readers travel across time and space to meet powerful deities and rediscover long-lost rituals and symbols. From Celtic England to ancient Egypt, each chapter brings myth and magic to life through unforgettable storytelling.Each leg of Lilith’s journey is tied to a season, blending ancient wisdom with themes that resonate deeply today – including matriarchy, self-love and female friendship. As she moves through these sacred stories, Lilith finds meaning, connection and transformation. Goddesses: A Graphic History is a lyrical and timely journey for readers drawn to mythology, spirituality and divine feminine energy – from the artist behind Witchcraft: A Graphic History and with a foreword from poet Nikita Gill, who also makes a guest appearance in illustrated form as one of the novel's characters.
