A wonderful study, backed up by history and archaeology, of Goddess worship through the ages. There are no wishy-washy theories here - rather, everything is backed up by reference after reference. A delightful read, a must for any serious student of the Goddess.

Anyone interested in exploring spirituality must read this book. It provides a thorough and well documented alternative view to the beliefs of people like Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, James Hillman and more recently, Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy. Reading this book will raise your consciousness and help you complete your own life puzzle.

This book has impacted my view of and relationship with the Goddess on many levels. Each manifestation: Virgin, Mother and Crone, is examined in a scrumptiously poetic style that speaks to the womansoul. Thorough explorations of each image are complemented by poem/scripts honoring each face of the Goddess. Time is spent comparing the ways of the Goddess to those of the patriarchal God.

Of particular interest are discussions on the topics of the suitability of worshipping a Goddess and no God, and the refutation of the Goddess as Warrior archetype and the notion of the Divine as sexless.

This book has crystalized my relationship with and understanding of the Goddess. I would encourage any interested party to read it.
