ABOUT
The Sacred Woman Journal is a prompted guide to practicing the principles of Queen Afua’s Sacred Woman and serves as a perfect accompaniment and extension to the enduring classic. Richly expanded from the original self-published edition, The Sacred Woman Journal features:
- mantras,
- checklists,
- meditations, and
- prayers to inspire a reader’s journey through twelve healing gateways.
Over a twelve-week period, this guided journal provides a tailored canvas of profound possibilities, revelations, visions, and lessons learned, and offers a road map to self-enlightenment designed to not only reset and recharge the body, but to realize the purpose held within the heart and reclaim the full transformative power of the mind and the spirit.
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
