Prayer Dolls

“Nobody knows the exact figure because records were not kept,
but it seems certain that during a three-hundred-year period
between three and five million women were tortured and killed...
It was enough for a woman to show a love for animals,
walk alone in the fields or woods, or gather medicinal plants
to be branded a witch…”

Eckhard Tolle, A NEW EARTH, p155

While these figures are contested and other estimates are much lower than this,
the scale and the hidden-ness of this crucial part of our heritage is aksing for recognition and integration

Denise Rowe is collecting prayer dolls in honour and remembrance
of these women, and the wild wise feminine within all of us.

The project holds within herself a horizon
of 1,000,000 prayer dolls in the landscape.
