Editorial Reviews
Review
'An impressive and scholarly volume.' - Lynn Meskell, At the Edge
'Very highly recommended.' - The Cauldron
'... an outstanding source of information about goddesses not only of northern Europe, including Britain and Ireland, but also of Rome, the Caucasus and Japan.' - Wood and Water
'Highly recommended [it] illuminate[s] a profound understanding of the goddess, heretofore largely neglected by scholars or else romanticized by popular books.' - Annabel Lee, Runa
Product Description
This volume is an up-to-date, highly readable study of the female aspect of religion both in past and present mythologies. It explores the function and nature of goddesses and their cults in many cultures, including Celtic, Roman, Norse, Caucasian and Japanese traditions.
The contributors demonstrate how in many myths the female deity is seen as more ambivalent than her male counterpart, and not relegated to primarily "feminine" roles.
