5.0 out of 5 stars The Goddess Within, September 24, 2006

This review is from: The Book of Goddesses 2007 Wall Calendar (Calendar)

I am an ardent fan of Kris Waldherr's "Goddess Tarot", and am just becoming happily acquainted with her work "The Book of Goddesses". As an artist, and as an author, she is an eloquent spokesperson for the divine feminine within each of us.

"The Book of Goddesses" 2007 Calendar transfers the illustrations from her exquisite book into calendar format. The goddesses are from diverse cultures, and through image and story they bring the Divine Feminine to life.

At 12 inches by 12 inches, this is a fairly good sized calendar. It is formatted into two parts: the upper half shows a vibrant, full color graphic of the Goddess, while the lower half shows the Goddess on the left handside of the page, with the monthly calender on the remaining three-quarters of the page. At the bottom of the lower page is a precis about the Goddess and her history.

The calender pages include US and religious holidays, and the new and full moons.

The first page of the calendar shows the last four months of the year 2006, under the auspices of the Goddess Isis. the story reads:

"From before 3000 BCE to the second century CE, Isis was worshiped in Egypt as teh great mother goddess of the universe. She was present every day at sunrise, and at the time of the new and full moons. Responsible for everything to do with wetness adn moisture, her milk nourished all living beings. Her traditional headdress, a sun disk between two cow horns, symbolizes her varied duties."

The goddesses represented include Isis, Venus, Benzai-ten, Lakshmi, Gwenhywfar, Kwan Yin, Psyche, Chang O, Xochiquetzal, Oya, Athena, adn Freyja.

Such beautiful illustrations and well written text make this calendar a joy to have on the wall, and a "keeper" when the year is over.

The Goddess Wall Calendar is beautiful. Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to the fact that it was for 2007 rather than 2008. May paste calendar pages from a give-away calendar on it. May frame the pix. It is lovely to look at. Kris Waldherr's work is stunningly beautiful. I have purchased other items of hers & will purchase more.
