The Return of the Goddess, A Divine Comedy
"With solid characterizations and a fluid narrative, Cunningham gracefully crosses the borders of plausibility into a luminous, metaphysical realm."
-Publishers Weekly
"What the characters discover, each in his or her own way, is a highly sexual, highly sensual spiritual realm which is passionate and unified at the same time."
-
James Polk, Woodstock Times
"This book is a delightful entertainment for anyone already on the path of the Goddess. We would also recommend it for anyone who wants to explore the traditional Christian path. It conveys the inward reflections of Goddess oriented people and treats both women and men of the traditional path with dignity."
-Spirited Woman
"The Return of the Goddess brings together themes of interest to women, such as earth-centered life, the need for feminine rituals, and the link between spirituality and sexuality."
-Values and Visions
This new release is one of those delightful rarities: an entertaining novel written with grace, humor, and perceptiveness about the lives of people who inhabit our world, and it’s written on a metaphysical theme."
-Convergence
"Captivating archetypal characters dramatize the everyday magic of self-discovery in a work as intriguing as Cunningham’s previous novel, The Return of the Goddess….This is a beguiling tour de force."
-Publishers Weekly
"Cunningham spins a wondrous tale that questions conventional definitions of beauty, culture, and freedom. Her book stands strongly among such classics of feminist fantasy as Marion Zimmer Bradley’s The Mists of Avalon and Dorothy Bryant’s The Kin of Ata Are Waiting for You.
-Library Journal
"This could be the next Mists of Avalon. It has in common with that vastly popular novel a mythical expression of women’s power."
-Booklist
"In affirming the difficult choices and constraints of the heart, The Wild Mother offers the kind of healing story that leads to a compassionate embrace of the human experience."
-Leah Samul, Creation Spirituality
"Myth and Magic, Mystery, Adventure, Romance--what more could you wish for in a good metaphysical novel? The Wild Mother keeps you entranced from its opening line to its last enigmatic page."
-Friends’ Review
"How to Spin Gold is pure poetic magic. It contains all the beauty and power of her earlier novels, The Wild Mother and The Return of the Goddess. The magic charm that opens the novel becomes a guiding theme for our lives today, and that universality is part of the magic that makes the book come alive."
-Barbara Ardinger, Ph.D. The Beltane Review
"I read How to Spin Gold in two sunny mornings. In fact, it made me late to exercise class. I kept thinking ‘Just a little more.’ Cunningham really has a gift for this genre."
-Starhawk, author of The Fifth Best Thing
and Walking to Mercury
"Cunningham's poetry celebrates a passion that transcends the duality of will and surrender through poetics of noticing and a theology of wonder....The truths of polytheism. monotheism and even a kind of atheism are realized together -- gods, God, and Emptiness, at home under one sky."
- Charles Stein, author of The Hat Rack Tree.
