Do you hear Her calling? Softly, oh so sweetly, edging you home.
Digging for Mother’s Bones is a clarion call, an awakening for women who are ready for a new evolutionary edge of growth. This is a powerful guidebook to bring us home to The Great Mother – the regenerative force of creation, She who is the cosmic womb, the feminine aspect of the divine; so that we may unearth the wisdom of our bodies as living libraries and remember how to be the wisdom-keepers that can resurrect Her bones.
Through visionary words, transmissions of feminine wisdom, practical exercises and hard-lived realities, Coco Oya Cienna-Rey takes us by the hand and guides us through the darkness and the great joy of reclaiming our connection with Her. Her story is a universal one of trauma, disconnection and navigating the mother wound (as both mother and daughter), on a path to reclaiming sexual sovereignty, reconnecting to ancestors through the motherline and embodying true feminine power.
“Coco Oya Cienna-Rey is a true oracular voice for The Great Mother, anchoring the reclamation of the wild, sensual, embodied and future ancient feminine.”
—Caroline Seckinger of Her Eternal Ceremonial Knives, artist, author and ceremonial guide

A Womancraft Compendium to celebrate the ten-year anniversary of Womancraft Publishing. Compiled, edited and with an introduction by Womancraft Publishing founder Lucy H. Pearce. If what we are experiencing right now are the death throes of patriarchy…how did we get here…and what comes next? Taking the ancient women’s work of weaving as its framework, Weaving Our Way Beyond Patriarchy is a collaborative text of voices woven from the Womancraft community – our own authors, both established and upcoming, aligned authors published elsewhere, and readers, ranging in age from twelve to over seventy. Through poetry, prose, letters, articles and artwork, more than eighty women – authors, activists, artists, community builders, doctors, doulas, priestesses, poets, permaculturalists, professors, teachers, witches, yoga teachers, mothers, grandmothers – reflect on what it might look like beyond patriarchy and how we might get there, from the big picture to the domestic details. This diverse and inclusive compendium of contemporary women’s wisdom is bound to become a much-loved handbook to carry us forward through these strange and uncertain times, with words to encourage and inspire us and our sisters, daughters, granddaughters, friends and communities.
Within these pages, my words grace the opening of the book and set a collective forcecast for these coming times of change.

Within these pages, I write of my time as Tantrika and the work done to align the body and attune the hearts and minds of men, utilising my body as a vessel to assist them to remember the heart leads and that they can surrender the fight that lives in their bodies.
“We lost the potency of the body beyond the physical. We forgot that the design of the human body is not a random thing. And in that, revealing all the places we lost touch with the sacred wisdom of the body and in particular, how the breasts are in fact energetic portals. And all the places we do not fully attend to our nourishment, power and potency”- Coco Oya – Sacred breasts.

From the colonial idea of ‘British’ tea; the demasculinising experience of infertility in a Jamaican family; a Black woman being both tourist and tourist attraction on her travels in South Asia, and what it meant to be ‘everybody’s midwife’ in an institutionally racist NHS, through to the experience of an Indian migrant child in the ‘country of 'the oppressor’ -- these are just a few of the themes explored in this new anthology
Through poetry, short stories, confessionals, and memoirs, contributors interrogate race, gender, relationship with self and with family, as well as identity in contemporary Britain.
Within these pages, I write a poetic and poignant piece on SHAME and how, as women, our bodies have been shamed, especially our sexuality and how we can reclaim it.

'It's pertinent that journeys are a key theme across this bright anthology; the shuttle of memory moving between the present and the past; the poems as evidence of this for the future. Check Hope Remains takes its title from a line in Pandora and the Ballot by Micke Farren. Each poem in this anthology engages, wrestles with, implies, or proclaims - hope. Steeped in a poetics imbued with chromatics, this is a hope whose cartography is coloured and the synesthetic. Each writer is mapping what is experienced into language.' -Rommi Smith
Within these pages, I write my first ever poems - 4 in total - inspired by Rummi - they speak of love and the heart and the soul and the taking back of one's power after trauma and abuse.
