This book takes the reader on a journey through time, seeking out the presence of the Goddess from pre-Christian spirituality to the present day. Drawing mainly on sources from the Western tradition, the many faces of the Goddess are revealed. She is shown as the primeval Black Goddess of the earth, as Savior Goddess, the Gnostic Sophia, World-Soul, Apocalyptic Virgin and as the Mother of God. We see how the foundation mysteries of the goddess underlie the esoteric streams of orthodox religions, and trace her hermetic presence in Qabala and alchemy. Finally, we track her appearance in the realms of Goddess religion, feminist theology and the New Age Movement. Illustrated. 378 Pgs. Description text copyright 2005 www.BooksForComfort.com.
