The Myth of the Goddess; Evolution of an Image details the cultural confirmation of Goddess worship since before the beginning of civilization to more recent times. The Goddess is revealed through time from Ancient Earth Mother to the Virgin Mary as an integral part of the human religious experience. Detailed examinations of artifacts and sacred sites provide a compelling image of societies devoted to the Goddess as seen through Nature and the world around them. Themes in mythology and folklore are also explored as a means of further demonstrating the cultural and religious significance of Goddess to ancient people.
Epiphanies are hidden within the richness of the text, caught within the weaving patterns of the reality of the Great Goddess. Ideas and thoughts you once thought of as your own will suddenly be seen as intuitive realizations - reality forged through mystery.
This is a book that every Goddess-person should own - both clergy and lay person. The work contained in its pages will serve as a practical foundation for the (re)building of inherent human religious tradition and practice.

Panthea,
I love the new look of the web site! The text is a little small, but every entry is worth a good read! I have not read this book, but am always on the lookout for new books about the Goddess. I'm new to goddessing. :-) Thank you for blogging the sacred earth and the goddess!
Ann, thanks for the comments. I'm thrilled that you like the layout - even if the text is a little small. It isn't small for me, so I would suggest checking your browser settings. I have my text size set to normal in Fire Fox. I'll look into finding a site add-on that controls text size.
Anyway - again, thanks for the comment. I am very glad that this site can offer you something.
Blessings, Grian
