She can be the Universe itself, the source of all being, the holy Virgin, the Earth-Mother nurturer, the madly hysterical destroyer, the femme fatale, or the consort or mother of God. She is presented here not as myth, but as a true archetype, a potential being who exists in all of us, a force who long preceded her male counterpart as an appropriate metaphor for the Great Mystery of existence. As compelling as any novel, Goddess is also a journey into the human heart. Observing Goddess over the centuries-worshipped, belittled, denied, rediscovered-we gain new insight into the changing role of women, our continuing development as a species, and our deepest concerns about ourselves, our world, and the human destiny.
The authors gather some 75 of the most potent and meaningful tales of the Female Divine in an extraordinarily rich and readable introduction of this figure. Told as a biography, this work follows Goddess from her first Ice Age appearance to her re-emergence as a powerful force in the myths of modern religion and psychology. 18 illustrations.
