Ophelia's Oracle is a delightful story of a 12-year-old girl who explores her emerging sense of self.
Ophelia is told ancient feminine stories by caring and supportive women in her life, and through her own experiences, learns the importance of these stories today. She discovers her deep connection to the natural world. She learns to love and appreciate her mixed cultural heritage, and all people. The creative full-color design also features fun activities, interviews, and engaging art and poetry by girls themselves. A heartfelt sharing of ancient feminine wisdom and timeless understanding the comfort and support that every girl (and woman) craves, to welcome her to her fullest potential.
This is the story of a bright, physically active pre-teen who often feels lost when she asks herself the question, who am I? Her mother is Japanese-American with strict rules about her daughter's behavior and is often frustrated by Ophelia's need to separate herself from her heritage. Ophelia's Japanese grandmother touches her deeply with the story of Amaterasu, the sun goddess who withdraws her light from the world in anger at her younger brother's behavior. As Amaterasu emerges from her cave, she gazes into a mirror hung on a tree and is amazed at her own beauty. Ophelia also begins to appreciate herself in new ways as she learns the stories of other goddesses who represent her female ancestry. In this delightful way, she explores her feelings about her growing emergence as a teen girl and embraces her own feminine wisdom.
