the Oracle's Bookshelf: Portals of Transformation
As the days darken and the leaves begin their slow release, this collection invites you inward—into the shadowed woods of the psyche, the buried wisdom of the body, and the liminal spaces between worlds. These texts explore the thresholds of selfhood, magic, memory, and myth: Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ wild feminine archetypes stir beside Mary Shelley’s haunting creation tale and her mother’s revolutionary philosophies. Through Sylvia Plath’s intimate unravelings, Niki de Saint Phalle’s visionary landscapes, and Sophie Strand’s animistic medicine, this list honors the season of descent. A time for remembering. A time for reimagining. A time for sitting with the unknown and letting it speak.
