Excellent study of a world-class goddess,
By Brian Griffith (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Transcendence and Divine Passion: The Queen Mother of the West in Medieval China (Paperback)
Cahill's study explores the prehistoric roots and historic development of one of the world's greatest goddess cults. Starting with shamanic tales so paleolithic they echo with subconscious memory, the goddess Xi Wang Mu transmutes into a refined lady with powers over death, birth, and immortality. Her cult becomes a spiritual path for Daoist women which has influenced popular religion down to the present. This book is scholarly, but it could win converts.
