Throughout history, women have been the keepers of wisdom — the healers, the storytellers, the bridge-builders between the visible and the invisible. They have held space for grief and guided the dying, carried questions too large for daylight, and trusted the whispers of an inner world that others could not see. And they have written it all down.
This International Women's Day, Obelisk Books is Celebrating the Female Authors Channelling wisdom for a New Era whose work goes far beyond the page. Thea Terlouw, Suzanne Ward, and Marianne van den Dungen each represent a different facet of feminine wisdom — and together, their books form a luminous body of work for anyone walking the path of spiritual awakening in these extraordinary times.
Thea Terlouw: The Courage to Speak from the Other Side
From childhood, Thea Terlouw was aware of a world that others could not perceive. For many years, she tried to suppress this gift. It was only after years of working alongside therapists, doctors, and psychologists — accompanying people through past-life explorations, near-death experiences, and end-of-life transitions — that she fully embraced her calling as a medium and spiritual guide.
Her two books published by Obelisk Books draw directly from this lifelong experience:
The Cycle of Life and Death: A Magnificent Journey offers readers a window into the soul's eternal journey, dismantling the fear of death through personal accounts from those who have made the transition. Thea and her guides share what it means to "come home" after physical life — and why understanding this is essential, especially now.
The Healing Chambers: Love Beyond Life goes deeper, exploring the sacred spaces where souls heal from trauma between lives. Through frank stories of those who passed from natural causes, euthanasia, self-chosen death, and even murder, Thea illuminates difficult truths with compassion: that neither hell nor condemnation await us, only love and the opportunity to grow.
There is something profoundly feminine in what Thea does — a willingness to sit with the darkest fears, to hold them gently, and to transform them into reassurance. This is the work of a healer, and her books are an act of profound service.
Suzanne Ward: A Mother's Love That Transcends Dimensions
When Suzanne Ward's son Matthew died at the age of seventeen, the loss was immeasurable. Yet what followed was one of the most extraordinary mother-son conversations ever committed to paper — a multi-decade telepathic exchange that became the celebrated Books of Matthew series.
Obelisk Books is proud to carry all five volumes in this beloved series:
Matthew, Tell Me about Heaven — Matthew's firsthand account of life in Nirvana, clearing up misconceptions about the afterlife and revealing the deeper truth of our origins.
Revelations for a New Era: Keys to Restoring Paradise on Earth — Representatives of six extraterrestrial civilizations explain how they are helping Earth ascend from third density into the light.
Illuminations for a New Era: Understanding These Turbulent Times — A message of hope for humanity's transformation, reminding us that this chaotic moment is actually a critical turning point.
Voices of the Universe — A reminder that each of us, through the energy of our thoughts and actions, participates in creating not just our own lives but the consciousness of the entire universe.
Earth's Golden Age: Life beyond 2012 — A visionary guide to Earth's ascension into fifth density, addressing our deepest questions about what awaits humanity.
What moves us most about Suzanne's work is how it began — in grief, in a mother's refusal to believe that love ends with death. That same love radiates across every page of every volume, reminding readers that we are never alone, that our connections are eternal, and that the universe is fundamentally, unconditionally loving.
Marianne van den Dungen: The Artist Who Draws the Soul's Path
In the medieval legend of Parzival, a young knight spends years searching for the Holy Grail — not realising that the answer has always lived within him. It takes humility, suffering, compassion, and the courage to ask the right question before the Grail reveals itself.
Marianne van den Dungen, artist and writer, has taken this timeless story and given it new life in
Parzival and the Grail: The Path of the Soul. Through thirty-five original drawings and contemplative texts, she transforms the Grail quest into something deeply intimate and utterly present — a map for every soul walking the path of awakening today.
The obstacles Parzival encounters — pride, ignorance, failure, grief — are our own. And Marianne's work makes this beautifully clear. As reviewer Marcel Messing writes of her: "A soul, who learned to see through 'the disease of ignorance' and discovered inner wisdom."
There is something deeply resonant about a woman reclaiming this tale. The Grail has long been associated with the feminine — with receptivity, compassion, and the wisdom that comes from asking rather than forcing. Marianne does not tell us what to think. She invites us, pencil by pencil, page by page, to ask our own inner questions.
The Feminine Thread: What Unites These Authors
At first glance, Thea Terlouw, Suzanne Ward, and Marianne van den Dungen may seem to occupy different corners of the spiritual landscape. One communicates with the departed; another channels messages from a cosmic perspective; the third works through visual art and medieval mythology. Yet a common thread runs through all their work.
Each of these women:
Trusts the unseen — and asks us to do the same.
Centers healing and compassion over fear and judgment.
Speaks to the experience of ordinary people navigating extraordinary times.
Reminds us that death is not an ending, that love is not bound by the physical, and that the soul is on a magnificent journey.
Writes from lived experience — from courage, not theory.
These are qualities we associate with the best of feminine leadership — not as something exclusive to women, but as energies that our world urgently needs: empathy, intuition, the willingness to speak difficult truths with love, and the patience to hold space for transformation.
A New Era Needs Women's Voices
We live in what many spiritual traditions describe as an End Time or a Time of Transition — a period of profound upheaval that is, at the same time, a profound opportunity. Old structures are crumbling; new ones are being born. And in this liminal space, the wisdom of people who know how to navigate the invisible — who can sit with grief, ask deeper questions, and point toward the light — is invaluable.
The books of Thea Terlouw, Suzanne Ward, and Marianne van den Dungen are not escapist. They are practical guides for the soul — maps, illuminations, and healing chambers for people ready to look honestly at life, death, and what it all means.
This International Women's Day, we invite you to read their words. To let a woman's wisdom guide you — whether through the cycle of life and death, across the dimensions of love, or along the winding path of a knight who had to learn to ask the right question.
