CHAPTER 1 excerpt
Unbidden visions are the most powerful, sure to come true. Tonight, grandmother's visions came unbidden. Grandmother had trained the second sight most of her life, had shaped it to her will. This vision frightened her. She rubbed her gnarled hands over her eyes, vainly tried to push away the unwanted images for her granddaughter's sake. The child was innocent, asleep in the corner of the wattle and daub cottage, unaware of grandmother's ominous foreboding. The night didn't ease grandmother's discomfort. It was chill outside, with a thick darkness that made grandmother's wrinkled skin form tiny goose bumps. Unusual for mid-summer, even in the misty mountains of northern Cymru. The moon's dark cycle formed deep penetrating shadows in the woods outside the walls of the cottage. Even the stars were obscured by a cloudy sky, their muted light no competition for the tallow candles burning on the kitchen table. The forest animals were silent, no wolf's howl or night bird's call to interrupt grandmother's anguish. The fire in the hearth was nearly out. Grandmother shivered, wrapped her shawl tightly about her frail shoulders, pulled a corner of it over her thick white hair to keep her head warm. Groaning, she stood from her stool, made her way toward the fireplace, and fed it another log. Grandmother knew what must be done, knew she had to act quickly before anything could interfere with her granddaughter's destiny. She had a plan. She would rouse Rhianna, gather some belongings. Bread, cheese, and some apples to sustain them. A blanket, cloak, clothes suitable for travel, and her purse of coins. They would need to leave tonight. She wondered if her aged body would hold up for such a journey...

Customer Reviews

I loved this book!
I just devoured this second installment of the Goddess of the Stars and the Sea. When I got to the part about the release and initiation at the levels of the labyrinth on the Tor, I thought, "This is going to become a classic on everyone's shelf!" I think Jodine has done a fine job of transmitting the magic and power of this Goddess lineage, and I can't wait to read the third one. It's clear that she is bringing through a very potent voice and that it resonates in her cells.

A deeper look
When I finished "Keys to Remember" my first thought was "I cannot wait for the third installment!"

I have to say, when I first laid eyes upon the book, I uttered a little disappointed sigh. I thought, "There aren't enough pages", "Did Jodine shortcut this story?" Well I'm here to say, absolutely not!

I am used to having a plithera of pages to express the depth of ones experience and heart. Jodine has done it very sucinctly and yet not lost any compassion or passion in the telling.

It is obviousd to me, Jodine has fully experienced the Goddess of the stars and the sea. The dedication to Her, the detail of ritual and ecstatic depth of love is fully present. The story is so rich and full. The insight, the detail and the depth brought to all facets of, not just the story, but the spiritual evolution of the lead characters. A life expression authentically written and portrayed. As it was and is and shall be.

Thank you so much for providing a way to understand what we may have felt and perhaps not known, of themselves and of the Goddess.

What does the next incarnation have in store?

Keys to Remember
Jodine's books are awesome! Her descriptions of the goddess mystery schools and processes reveals much of the power contained in the journey and commitment one must make in order to receive enlightenment. These are must reads for seekers. I eagerly await her next book.
