An easy read that is more of a compilation of vignettes of the author's spiritual journey that helped her define the 7 veils of "getting spiritually naked" rather than a "how to" manual inferred by the book's title. What I enjoyed most are: 1) the opening quotes by prominent women that reinforced the chapter's theme; 2) her references of other readings (both mainstream & spiritual) that inspired me to add to my "to read" list; 3) recounting her experiences as a Hospital Chaplain assigned to the Labor & Delivery/NICU ward; & 4) closing benediction.

Easily in my top 10 of all time. Thank you Meggan. Hot Damn.

This quote at the end explains how the entire book makes you feel

++

In the company of women, it’s easier for each of us to remember our own truth. We remember that our lives depend on our capacity to drop all facades and pretenses. We remember the bliss of just accepting that we are here to be ourselves. And we remember, together, that the most powerful place for us to be, even if it is sometimes terrifying, is fully in our body, so that we can move with the vulnerability and compassion of a broken-open heart.

Probably 4.5

So much food for though in this book. The chapter on revealing your soul-work, alone, is invaluable. I’ll be returning to this one.

This is more of a personal account of the author's journey instead a manual for the reader themselves. Not quite what I was looking for. I am enjoying her other book "Mary Magdalene Revealed: The First Apostle, Her Feminist Gospel & the Christianity We Haven't Tried Yet", but I couldn't get into this book.

The discussion of the divine feminine was interesting, but ultimately this one was a little woo-woo for me. What I mean is that some of the spiritual awakenings the author describes were not relatable or credible to my logical and practical sensibilities.

Meggan Watterson is a feminist theologian and self proclaimed priestess of devine feminine. This book describes her spiritual journey from a shocking revelation that the Bible doesn't include many female voices through her studies of the scriptures never included in the Bible to creating her own, ecclectic spiritual path. It is a great read for anyone who doesn't fit within the constraints of traditional religion.
