Sally Pomme Clayton: The Mighty Goddess #40

We are back after a lengthy interim! And how better to kickstart our new bout of episodes than with a dose of divine power! We interview Sally Pomme Clayton, British performance storyteller and author, about her latest book – The Mighty Goddess. We try to touch upon the immensity that is the Goddess, through a breadth of mythical lenses, attempting to describe archetypal energies that are impossible to pin down or reduce to human psychology. Indeed, how do you approach the Mighty Goddess, a borderless creative force that craves expression. Through the language of Love? Of Good and Evil? Or of Rage?
