Wild Mercy | Free Book
Wild Mercy is essential reading for anyone ready to awaken the
feminine mystic within and birth her loving, creative, and untamed
power into the world.
“Mystical brilliance at its best.” —Caroline Myss
“No one can take us into the fiery and tender depths of the
sacred feminine with more skill, humor, clarity, and vibrant naked
honesty than Mirabai Starr.” —Andrew Harvey, author of The Hope and The Return of the Mother
We live in a world that has suffered the abuses
of an unbalanced masculine rule for thousands of years—but the
feminine is rising. “Seeds of feminine wisdom that have been quietly
germinating underground are now breaking through the surface,”
writes Mirabai Starr. “Women everywhere are rising to the collective
call to step up and repair our broken Earth. And we are
activating a paradigm shift such as the world has never seen.”
With Wild Mercy, Mirabai shares the subversive wisdom and fierce compassion of the
feminine mystic across cultural boundaries and throughout history.
From saints and sages, to goddesses and archetypal
energies, to contemporary teachers and seekers—you’ll meet women who
blazed a path that will illuminate your own.
Each
chapter explores a different facet of feminine mysticism through a
tapestry of teachings, reflections, and stories, along with a
practice for integrating the chapter’s themes into your own
life. As you journey through these pages, you’ll explore:
Taking
refuge in contemplative practice with St. Teresa of Avila and the
ShekinahLonging, embodiment, and union as the heart of feminine
spiritual practice with the Hindu poet Mirabai and Mary
MagdaleneYour relationship with the Earth, motherhood in all its
forms, and a loving call to action alongside Gaia and Ix
ChelCommunity and the web of life with Indra, the Beguines, and
female prophets throughout historyWild, playful, and compassionate

Wild Mercy provides a much-needed alternative to the models of religion and
spirituality that have dominated history. Here, Mirabai invites you
to welcome the wisdom of women back into the collective field where
it may transform the human family, heal the ravaged Earth, and
awaken the divine love in our hearts.
