Vanessa Irena

published work

Covering Catherine of Siena, Teresa of Avila, Mechtild of Magdeburg, Julian of Norwich, Hildegard of Bingen, and Clare of Assisi, in Ecstasy: A Devotional Guide to the Female Mystics Vanessa Irena introduces you to the lives and works of these remarkable women and to their transgressive, bodily, and erotic explorations of the divine.

Drawing from folk tradition to formal ceremonial ritual magic and from grimoiric texts to biblical apocrypha, Saint Raphael the Archangel provides prayers and formulae, as well as guidelines for shrine-building, offerings, correspondences, and magical workings for developing a relationship with this powerful Archangel.
