The mystics would like a word: six women who met God and found a spirituality for today

Teresa of Ávila. Trusting yourself doesn't make you a heretic ; Sensuality, sexuality, and living as a person in a body

Margery Kempe. All the best prophets were mentally ill ; How to become a virgin again

Hildegard of Bingen. Spirituality demands environmental justice ; The world is burning: why make art?

Julian of Norwich. The divine feminine isn't just permissible, it's necessary ; Wherein sin and hell lose a whole lot of power

Thérèse of Lisieux. Subversive insignificance in a world hungry for fame ; Nursing the mother wound

Catherine of Siena. Balancing action and contemplation ; Horror, gore, death, and the necessity of facing our shadows.
