The story of the greatly misunderstood Goddess, including why she likes snakes. My name is Medusa explores the "scary" dark side, the potency of nature and the importance of dreams.
 Arna Baartz gorgeously illustrates this tale by Glenys Livingstone, teaching children (big and small) that our power often lies in what we have been taught to fear and revile.
 Praise for My Name is Medusa:
 “What a beautiful book! If we can learn to love what we have been taught to fear—snakes, change, the dark, night, dreams, and so much more—then we can learn to love ourselves and our mother earth.” -Carol P. Christ, Author of Goddess and God in the World and A Serpentine Path
“A wonderful book of Snake Wisdom for kids, or not-kids, with insights about life, growth, change, dreams, and our relationship to the Whole.” -Max Dashu, Suppressed Histories Archives
 “My Name Is Medusa presents a conversation with a wise woman about change, growth, and depth of appreciation for life in the cosmos. The thoughtful text is quietly intriguing, while the artwork is exuberantly engaging.” -Charlene Spretnak, Author of Lost Goddesses of Early Greece
"A wonderful introduction to and re-framing of the myth of the wise, powerful, fabulously snaky-haired Medusa. The magical pages of this gorgeous book teach children love for the Earth and for all of Her creatures." -Miriam Robbins Dexter, , Ph.D., Author of Whence the Goddesses: a Source Book; Sacred Display: Divine and Magical Female Figures of Eurasia (with Victor Mair); and Editor of Foremothers of the Women’s Spirituality Movement: Elders and Visionaries (with Vicki Noble).

A remarkable collection of essays, poems, and art by scholars who have researched Her, artists who have envisioned Her and women who have known Her in their personal story. All have spoken with Her and share something of their communion in this anthology. 
"The Gorgon Medusa presents herself to us here and now, requiring us to be fully present, to listen deeply-past the noise of accumulated judgments —to the Ancient Wisdom that is our true inheritance. She reminds us of our mortality as the Great Awakener, and encourages us to reclaim whatever has been silenced or diminished within us. We are admonished to have the courage to speak what is true, to trust ourselves to hold her gaze and know we will not be turned to stone." -Joan Marler, excerpt from the Preface 
Praise for Re-visioning Medusa
"This deeply felt, thought and illustrated anthology asks us to imagine, know, feel, and face Medusa. This ancient goddess is not the monster to be slain by a patriarchal hero, but the face of the Earth and of wisdom. The diverse offerings in this wonderful anthology lead readers to knowledge, through study as well as dreams, art, and storytelling. It is a very fine and compelling read and also a glorious guide for getting down to the Earth wisdom so direly needed in these times." -Jane Caputi, Ph.D, Professor, Center for Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Communication &amp; Multimedia, Florida Atlantic University
 "Gifted Women's Spirituality poets, artists, and scholars create a fascinating portal to open our understanding of Medusa and her powers, to protect and heal, and also to destroy. Medusa's angry fierceness — that opposes social oppression and other violations of the matristic values of community, cooperation, and caring — will find a resonance among spiritually awakening readers for facing the political challenges of today."-Mara Lynn Keller, PhD, Professor of Philosophy, Religion and Women's Spirituality, California Institute of Integral Studies 
 "I welcome Re-visioning Medusa: from Monster to Divine Wisdom wholeheartedly. Medusa unfolds the original vision of the female divine. Calling her a rebel underestimates her power. In short, the symbol of Medusa embodies Goddess Feminism, Activism, and Spirituality. Together with women, Medusa is ever present in the intergalactic journey of the Great Goddess."-Helen Hye-Sook Hwang, Ph.D., author of The Mago Way: Re-discovering Mago, the Great Goddess from East Asia
"No better time than now to be Re-visioning Medusa! Let's take her off the shelf, dust her off and embrace her! No more enduring, being docile, being quiet for others comfort. It's time to embrace our strength, our courage, our agency — even our rage!" -Karen Tate, author, speaker, social justice activist and radio show host of Voices of the Sacred Feminine
"I am in awe of this powerful anthology! The Re-visioning Medusa Anthology looks at the myth and medicine of Medusa in a whole new light shining her much needed ancient wisdom back into the world. This deeper insight into her stories and magic is a compelling reclaiming of feminine fire. A must read!" - Ara Campbell, The Goddess Circle 
“Who was the mythical Medusa? The original “nasty woman,” ugly and fearsome? Or the inspiring feminist model of a fearless woman daring to speak truth to male power? This fascinating collection both asks and answers this timely question.” -Donna Henes, author of The Queen of My Self
