Embodied Remembering

Prayer Dolls
For the Remembering
Prayer Dolls: Welcome
In honour and remembrance
of the women persecuted
for their embodiment of the wild wise feminine
during the European witch hunts of the early modern period

Prayer Dolls: Video
“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.

Prayer Dolls: About
May we all remember
The truth of who we really are
As part of this living Earth
