Embodied Remembering
Prayer Dolls
For the Remembering
In honour and rememberance
of the women persecuted
for their embodiment of the wild wise feminine
during the ‘witch hunts’ of the Middle Ages
“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
Denise Rowe is collecting prayer dolls in honour and rememberance
of these women, and the wild wise feminine within all of us.
The project will culminate in a temporary installation
of 1,000,000 prayer dolls in the landscape.
