About The Author
Jasmine Elmer
Jasmine Elmer is a mythologist and storyteller who brings ancient tales to life with a modern, feminist twist. Fascinated by the magical and the mystical, she dives into the worlds of goddesses, witches, slayers, and rebels, showing how their stories still shape - and challenge - our own. With a background in ancient myth and history, Jasmine combines research with passion, breathing new life into myths and turning them into living manifestos of women’s power for a modern audience.
Her debut book, Goddess with a Thousand Faces, is a bold and lyrical journey through global goddess traditions, blending storytelling with historical insight to reclaim the sacred feminine. Slay is her second book.
Of Pakistani and white heritage, Jasmine grew up in East London and now lives in Devon with her husband, son, and five unapologetically adored cats. A passionate advocate of slow living, she spends her time meditating, enjoying nature, and savoring a sip of coffee.
