Booklist policy that a book written by a regular contributor receive a brief descriptive announcement rather than a recommending review.)
The author of The New Book of Goddesses and Heroines (1997) offers prospective followers of a feminine rather than a masculine conception of deity 20 examples from throughout the world: Gaia, Athena, Kuan-Yin, Isis, Kali, etc. For each, she provides a historic prayer in contemporary language; a retelling of the goddess' essential myth; discussion of interpretations, symbolism, major feasts, and principal means of honoring the goddess; and suggestions for modern honoring rituals.
