Working with the Greek goddess, Demeter, can help us to better understand what it means to reconnect with our own divinity, birth the potential that exists within us, and nurture ourselves and others. Pagan Portals - Demeter begins with a foundational look at the ancient Greek myths and many aspects of the Goddess. This is followed by an exploration of the rites sacred to Demeter and the impact that these rites had on women in ancient Greek society. Building on these foundational elements, the book explores the various themes and lessons inherent in Demeter’s myth. These include accessing the divine within, healing the mother wound, manifestation/fertility magic, the mother archetype as a powerful advocate for justice, and conducting shadow work to release that which no longer serves us so that we can experience the rebirth of our own divine sovereignty.

Robin Corak's work is solid and kind, offering readers deep insight into ancient mysteries with a gentle context that any contemporary person (whether a Pagan practitioner or curious reader) can find a place to fit their own experience. Books focused on Demeter are few and far between, and the world is lucky to have Corak's newest text. ~ Courtney Weber, Author of "Hekate: Goddess of Witches"
Robin Corak's "Pagan Portals - Demeter" is a book I've been excited to read since I heard it was in the works. Not only does Robin bring Demeter to light, but this author also expands on the often-condensed vision of the Great Mother. By widening the experience of motherhood and mothering, this book creates a strong connection with the reader, a welcoming tone, and open arms. From well-researched content to journal questions, "Pagan Portals - Demeter" is not just for those who have never met this goddess, but it's also for those who seek to deepen their relationship. ~ Irisanya Moon
Well-written and thoroughly researched guide to creating a meaningful relationship with Demeter. It is warm, relatable and readable with very good questions posed for reflection and a lot of background information included on the history and celebration of the goddess. If you are looking to delve deeper into working with a mother archetype and psycho-spiritual issues like mother/daughter dynamic, loss and grief, and the mother wound I would highly recommend you include this guide in your collection. I, personally, work with female anger and grief a lot in my psychotherapy practice and found the book relevant and illuminating when linking spirituality, deity work and psychology. ~ Natalia Clarke, author of Pagan Portals Intuitive Magic Practice and Pagan Portals Baba Yaga, Slavic Earth Goddess
