Based upon the old tale of "The Marriage of Sir Gawain", "Kissing
the Hag" brings us face to face with the nauseating horror of the
hag - the raw side, the dark side, the inside of a woman's
essential nature. Here we find the untamed soul, the wild, angry,
selfish, lustful, manipulative and incomprehensible elements of
woman: all that makes us unacceptable and badly behaved. Too often
we have been guided to point a finger of blame, accusing our
parents, society, our partners of being dysfunctional. Here Emma
Restall Orr doesn't allow us that option. As a Druid and animist,
she takes the negative stereotypes of the irrational, emotional
woman - feisty bitch to shameless whore, smothering mother to
grumpy old bag - and finds the archetypes behind them, the faces
and forms of the dark goddess.Instead of dismissing these as
unacceptable, she encourages us to ride their wild emotional
currents, surfing the awesome tides that threaten to overwhelm us.
In "Kissing the Hag", we come to accept the fullness of our nature,
celebrating the deep mystery, the magic and power of all we are.
"Kissing the Hag" is a book written for women who long to loose the
chains of insecurity, convention, guilt and self-negation, and
rediscover the freedom and creativity of their true nature. It is
also a book written for men fascinated but infuriated by the women
they love.
