By A Customer

This review is from: The Heart of the Goddess: Art, Myth and Meditations of the World's Sacred Feminine (Paperback)

Austen gives a tremendous overview of the various female deities from throughout the world making sure to hit every continent/region. Obviously in order to include so many goddesses, it was necessary to keep goddess descriptions to a page which leaves you wanting to know more about the goddess' place in the society that she was worshipped.

It was empowering to read about them and their powers over life and death, especially in this modern world that so often forsakes the strength of it women.

The illustrations and pictures are for the most part quite vivid and detailed making the book very visually pleasing and interesting.
