Book Review: 29 degrees Scorpio
Summary: 5 Stars
Caitlin is my newest favorite author. Mostly because she writes exactly where I live: the final few degrees of Scorpio. Those late degrees where Persephone is returning from the underworld, the first rays of Sagittarius--the deep wisdom that can only be born of the living of powerlessness and loss--shining like that proverbial light at the end of the tunnel upon her innocence-lost face.
Wisdom born of rape? Yes. Powerlessness is at the heart of all wisdom, and what separates it from mere knowledge. Caitlin expresses this journey better than any author I've encountered, and I simply love her for it.
Nin, who plays the trine between Pisces and Scorpio, comes close in some of her prose: House of Incest comes to mind. But Caitlin wins my award for Queen of the Underworld Rising. Reborn, yet still looking back over her shoulder at what she has just learned. Ruminating on the journey, the voyage of the soul into the deep dark. The loss of innocence. The only doorway leading to the growth of consciousness into a self-awareness that finally has depth.
Certainly not for everyone. Certainly for everyone who has learned to cherish this voyage.
