DOWNLOAD EBOOKThroughout time, people have turned to goddesses as symbols of what they seek -- from abundance to healing, from protection to passion. Building on the resurgence of interest in the Divine Feminine, Julie Loar presents the qualities and origins of an international array of these deities, along with powerful suggestions for putting their attributes to practical use. In a daily-reflection format, she gracefully aligns the goddesses with the cycles of nature and the signs of the zodiac. If you are struggling to attain a goal, call on the Nepalese goddess Chomolungma, as the sherpas climbing Mount Everest have done for generations. Or, for good luck, invoke the Roman goddess Fortuna, the inspiration behind gambling's wheel of fortune. With 366 goddesses to choose from, you will find a deity to call upon for every aspiration and need.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHere, archaeologically documented, is the story of the religion of the Goddess. Known by many names--Astarte, Isis, Ishtar, among others--she reigned supreme in the Near and Middle East. Beyond being worshipped for fertility, she was revered as the wise creator and the one souce of universal order. Under her, women's roles differed markedly from those in patriarchal Judeo-Christian cultures. Women bought and sold property and traded in the marketplace, and the inheritance of title and property was passed from mother to daughter. How did the change come about? By documenting the wholesale rewriting of myth and religious dogmas, Merlin Stone details a most ancient conspiracey: the patriarchal reimaging of the Goddess as a wanton, depraved figure. This portrait that laid the foundation for one of culture's greatest shams--the legend of Adam and fallen Eve.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"The Goddess is at once a scholarly and intensely personal journey that shows how the great female figures of archaic and classical Greece can serve to illuminate the present and future of women everywhere. Moreover, the author uncovers the patriarchal representation of the more ancient matriarchal traditions with a sensitivity and sympathy that allows the strength of the goddess to emerge as images of liberation for men as well as women. Here is a radical and brilliantly new understanding of an ancient and honored theme. We find not just jealous Hera but also she who is eternal maiden and solitary widow. Persephone is both the virgin goddess of spring and the awesome queen of death and the underworld. Athene's courage and wisdom, too often seen as masculine attributes, are discovered as authentically feminine. Through her subtle interweaving of the many variants and layers of tradition with her own dreams and experiences, Christine Downing communicates the pertinence of each figure she addresses not just to isolated incidents but to the whole of life. With an energy at once tender and powerful, this book enables the reader to enter deeply into the labyrinth where myth is the image of life and life the image of myth." -- Provided by publisher
