"Lasara has brought us the goddesses who speak across time and space, who invite us to be inclusive and intersectional in our worship...They remind us that the survival of our species, of all species of life, requires that we create diverse, complex, dynamic communities."—Mai'a Williams, journalist, teacher, activist, and editor of Revolutionary Mothering

"Lasara Firefox Allen has liberated the goddess from every possible stereotype: race, reproductive status, age, sexual preference—even gender identity. Jailbreaking the Goddess provides countless possibilities for everyone to meet and engage with archetypal feminine power on their own terms. I love this book!"—Barbara Carrellas, author of Urban Tantra
"For nearly fifty years I have been the consort of a most extraordinary Woman/Priestess/Goddess. Never in those fifty years (or in our childhood years that preceded them) has her divine and infinite person-hood ever allowed itself to be limited and taken captive by the simplistic classic model of maid, mother, and crone. Lasara Firefox Allen's Fivefold Goddess model identifies and describes the Mysteries of Modern Woman, and comes dangerously close to allowing me to at least hear Her sphinx's riddle."—Lon Milo DuQuette, author of Low Magick
"Jailbreaking The Goddess is a delicious tool for dismantling (and reimagining) the way we think about women's spirituality and power. [The] fivefold goddess model honors the divine nature in all women, regardless of age, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, and economic status. This is an exciting, smart, and practical approach to liberating the mind, body, and spirit."—Laurie Lovekraft, Reclaiming Witch, priestess, and Huffington Post columnist

"Yes and more yes to this new model, which moves us out of the expectation of conformation to outdated cultural norms. One of the things I love most about this book is how it allows for other forms to exist within it (and you!). It's an opening of possibility for all women to re-divine all parts of ourselves."—Jenya T. Beachy, teacher, blogger, and author of The Secret Country of Yourself

"In Allen's vision the goddess is young and old, creative and wise, and above all strong. This is a Goddess who can map onto our own journeys at any part of our life.

Farber, author of Brain Magick

I found pieces of myself and my personal Goddess journey that have never been illuminated by any other text. Lasara Firefox Allen has truly broken the Goddess out of an antiquated jail. The world needs this freed Goddess. This book is part of that liberation."—Courtney Weber, author of Brigid: History, Mystery, and Magick
"Reading Jailbreaking the Goddess is a view into a world that but rarely exposes itself to the likes of me. The magic is classic, but updated to self-rooted authority, and the politics are heart-felt, leading to a vision of societal transformation centered on the Woman of Power, Wisdom, and Compassion."—Sam Webster, PhD, MDiv, Executive Director of the Pantheon Foundation
"Whilst honoring the roots of Goddess worship, Lasara has successfully opened up avenues of exploration for anyone who identifies with worship of the feminal divine in clear and loving guidance towards a stronger community of men, women, and all in between."—Xochiquetzal Duti Odinsdottir, HPs/x, Wayfarer Tradition
