Hidden Passages: Tales to Honor the Crones

Vila SpiderHawk’s Hidden Passages: Tales to Honor the Crones, is a book of eight stories about women who, when facing the challenges of life, turn for advice to the grandmothers of their cultures. Though the stories are set in different eras and cover different kinds of issues, each one reflects a reverence for the divine feminine.

Floor to ceiling bookshelves covered the other walls, and a few were still occupied. I thought I sensed s cold swish of light near where some of the books leaned against one another. Probably, I told myself, it was just a trick of a cloud slipping across the sun. Except that there had been no clouds. I went over to the books to investigate. The chill hit again, and the herb scent was stronger. There was something there; I was sure of it, something I needed to understand, something I was supposed to learn. I wandered over the titles knowing that a subtle energy I couldn’t name was trying to guide me to a germ of wisdom.

Hidden Passages by Vila Spiderhawk is a set of small stories about a woman’s milestones in life. For example: birth, child, parent and death. The author pulls you into the storyline with great depth. For instance, you can imagine and almost smell the herbs. You can also feel the character thoughts and feeling in the last short story as she goes through birth to death. It was not what I normally like to read, however, I still love the way the author writes and look forward to reading more books by this author. I would recommend this book to my friends and family.

Dear Ms. SpiderHawk,

I bought your Hidden Passages: Tales to Honor the Crones at your signing at the Emporium on Saturday. Well, when I got home I thought I’d just take a little peek to see what was what. And that was it! I was literally up all night reading this book!

Ms. SpiderHawk, this book is genius! The detail, the emotion, the wonderful characters, all made me feel as if I was right there! I actually wrapped a blanket around myself when Donnata was in the land of the snow! I cannot wait to get your other books now, and I regret that I didn’t buy them while I was there. I’d love to have them signed too! What an honor to have met such a wonderful writer! Thank you so much! Valerie Simpson

At the moment I'm re-reading Hidden Passages: Tales to Honor the Crones. Vila, this is my third "journey" through the "Hidden Passages" and each journey shows me something new. I just love this book. You know how much pain I get in sometimes and when it gets to be too much, instead of going to the pain medicine I just pick up the book and go "somewhere else" and it's much, much better than dumping more chemicals into my body, and it's a lot more fun. I also have the wonderful experience of learning something else!!!! Sooooo......Thank You my friend!!!!! Ulchdohain

Heya, Vila! I wanted to send some loving light your way. I just finished the most amazing book. My hubby gave it to me for X-mas (I didn't get anything for Yule, darnnit!), and I finished it a little bit ago (it's the 26th). Yup. Couldn't put it down. You know how that goes, right? You start a book that seems as though it was written just specifically for you, with each passage speaking to some aspect of your life or soul, the place you currently walk in your journey, or the circumstances and questions you find in your surroundings at this time. It's always a little bizarre when it happens, but it's enlightening and route changing, often in a good way. Guess what the book was titled? "Hidden Passages, Tales to Honor the Crones". I still have to read your other book, the other gift I received. I hope your holiday was as marvelous as mine! Thank you for your works and words, Vila. They have long been awaited in my heart and are amazing to my spirit! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Peace, light and joy to you and yours! -Kathy
