City Woman: Who is the goddess?

Wife, mother, daughter, friend, colleague... today’s woman fulfils a variety of roles every day.

As society has changed and developed over the decades, being a woman has changed, too. Most of us find ourselves being many things to many people; the boundaries blur and we’re often juggling our responsibilities all at once.

It’s not a bad thing – most of us thrive from our ability to multi-task. But meeting those demands can occasionally mean one role is sacrificed more than the other. It’s a challenge to strike the balance.

I was interested to learn of a series of workshops taking place in Caversham that focus on celebrating womanhood.

The workshop was held in a hall at the back of the shop on Prospect Street, where I met Vicky and a dozen other women taking part. It was a sacred place, so we removed our shoes, and at the centre of the room was an altar which I was soon to know as the Wheel of Brigit-Ana.
