Beautiful Waters: The Biography of a Goddess from Africa, Egypt, Asia and the World

From time immemorial every culture has had a story to tell about a Mother Goddess who saves the day. It is such a tale from two seemingly different cultures about the West African Goddess Osun and Indian Goddess Durga, which leads Omileye Achikeobi-Lewis into a real life adventure with the Mother Goddess through time, cultures, peoples, rivers, countries, broken symbols, dreams, mythologies and submerged histories. What she discovers is courage, love, the Mother's story, her story, and ultimately the story of us all.

The true subject of Beautiful Waters is what happens when the feminine disappears from the inner terrain of consciousness and we no longer remember her true identity. Omileye takes us to pray at polluted sacred rivers, meet the Catawba Medicine Woman, encounter the Goddess in Nigeria's Osun Sacred Grove, hear the messages of South Africa's White Lions and their protector Linda Tucker, - all to show us the reality of our forgetting.

"What a magnificent and inspirational piece of work. Very evocative."
