You Are Divine:
A Search for the Goddess in All of Us
“An elegant guide for nurturing the goddess spirit within” Char Jones, literary reviewer
“An enlightening, encouraging and illuminating book for women of all ages” Nancy Christie, author of The Gifts of Change
“A must read for any woman who wrestles with finding her voice and her place in the world” Susan Sanders, poet and co-author of Behind These Hills
“In her beautifully written book, Langley defines and examines those qualities we think of as feminine, encouraging us to embrace and nurture them, even as we embrace and nurture the other half of our inheritance, the ‘masculine’ qualities.” Gail Radley, author of more than 20 books and several Baha’i texts
You Are Divine explores goddesses and saints and philosophical leaders, combining my personal commentary with my scholarly research about the divine feminine persona. What we extol and celebrate in the divine feminine are characteristics that all people who identify as female embody, at one level or another. The only difference is that those elements are manifested by the divine feminine being in a state of perfection. We, on the other hand, are not perfect.
The book began with the shared experiences and insights from nearly a hundred women from many religious beliefs and from as many cultural backgrounds. While some of them were familiar with the term ‘divine feminine,’ others had no idea what it meant. But what united them was the willingness to tell their stories.
Now, more than ever, is the right time to celebrate those goddesses and heavenly beings that have female attributes. It’s time to embrace the divine in ourselves, to delight and relish in feminine strengths, to recognize the goddess within.
I invite you to use You Are Divine as a conversation starter between your public and your private personas — a stepping-off point for your own curiosity and your own spiritual journey. Once you read the book, reach out to me and share where you see feminine faces in the divine and what aspects you might share.
From my publisher:
This book reveals that the divine feminine dwells, at one level or another, in all of us. Filled with empowering first-hand experiences of the divine feminine from spiritual teachers and students from around the world, this book serves as a stepping-off point for your spiritual journey.
Everyone holds the divine within them, but sometimes it can be hard to find within ourselves. You Are Divine shares dozens of journal prompts with supportive narratives and inspiring advice so you can explore your own process for taking back power, calling for justice and balance, following your heart, recognizing and celebrating the divine, connecting with your creativity, exploring eco-feminism, and much more.

Dearest Friends:
Your answers to these questions are purely your opinion. There is no right or wrong. I will be doing a lot of research in the Duke Divinity Library to nail the history of the divine feminine and all of her faces, but I trust you, my friends, to give me honest answers about your own knowledge that will help me put a more personal face on this book. It’s not all about me, so I’ve chosen you because you, as a group, represent a panoply of many of the world’s religions and belief systems.
I truly appreciate your willingness to answer these questions. Take as much space or as little as you wish to respond. Again, all your opinion!
Big hugs and love,
