Ruth Says:
This recording was first created in 1987 when the
Goddess Movement was in its second decade. Its message continues to live and
inspire new generations of women discovering Goddess and woman-centered
spirituality in many forms. I decided to re-release Invocation To Free Women on
CD, with the original cover art by Asungi, in honor of the 35th anniversary of
the Dianic tradition and to celebrate the evolution of a movement that
continues to heal our souls.
