by

This post is a review of the book *The Flowering Wand* by Sophie Strand, which explores divine masculinities and critiques popular masculine archetypes. While the book’s poetic language is inspiring, it lacks an intellectual framework to ground its analysis of gender.

Change can be scary. Change also means growth. And when things are changing I try to take my inspiration from the blossoms at the height of summer. When a flower blooms it changes.
