"We live in a powerful time in which we need books that remind us of the ancestral, deeply spiritual power that women hold. This book reminds us of that power, and embraces the complexity of what healing might look like. In these pages, Angela Herrington dives deep into the patriarchal traps we've fallen into and gives rich steps for us to take in order to rediscover and celebrate the sacred feminine in our lives today. The stories and steps toward empowerment in this book can be life-saving for someone looking to live beyond the toxic power of patriarchy and live into the magic that women hold."

"Practical, insightful, and so necessary, Angela J. Herrington's Embracing the Old Witch in the Woods: Liberating Feminism from Christian Patriarchy is required reading for those who grew up in conservative Christian religious traditions, especially women (and those raised as women). If you've been feeling like you're never able to measure up to the standards of society and the church, if you feel like you've been taught not to trust yourself, if you feel like there must be more, this book is for you. Herrington is a gentle and generous guide to unpacking and beginning to heal from harmful gendered messages and embrace a life of fullness and freedom (as well as reclaiming your own inner Old Witch in the Woods)."

"Angela Herrington tenderly carries you through learning about the acts of patriarchy to feminine freedom. She reminds us of our own Inner Knowing and invites us to lean into archetypes beyond the maiden. Healing from the Christian patriarchy is no easy feat, yet Herrington creates compassionate space to undo and redo your life beyond religious restrictions. You'll place this book down feeling empowered and POWERFUL."

"Angela Herrington's Embracing the Old Witch in the Woods is essential reading for anyone who has experienced the impact of anti-woman, patriarchal abuses in organized systems of religion, faith, or spiritual community. Herrington's voice is that of a companion during the often painful process of deconstruction, healing, and finding meaning again after spiritual abuse and religious trauma. The examples offered and stories told are especially relevant to the times in which we find ourselves."

"Angela Herrington's refreshing deep dive into feminine wisdom is needed now more than ever. Rather than giving us more rules to follow, she walks with us on a journey out of the lies of patriarchy and into a more authentic, liberated way of living. This is an empowering, inclusive, and freeing read!"

"Embracing the Old Witch in the Woods challenges assumptions and norms that are so embedded in our culture that we often don't even see them, even though they impact nearly every facet of our lives and identities. This book will lead you to ask important questions you'll wonder why you never asked before, and will help you see new paths of possibility and promise waiting ahead."
