Goddesses: A World of Myth and Magic
| Author | Burleigh Muten |

★ true rating: 3.5 stars ★
Overall this was pretty cute, it showcases 2-3 goddesses on each page. The goddesses are organized in alphabetical order, but there is also a chart in the back of the book that has them organized by region/culture which I thought was a nice touch.
There are 100+...

| Author | Anne Baring |
| ISBN | 0140192921 |
A comprehensive, scholarly accessible study, in which the authors draw upon poetry and mythology, art and literature, archaeology and psychology to show how the myth of the goddess has been lost from our formal Judeo-Christian images of the divine. They explain what happened to the goddess, when,...
| Author | Jennifer Barker Woolger |
| ISBN | 0449902870 |
If I could pick one goddess archetype I am most like...isn't really the focus in this book. It's about how we have all these different goddess archetypes and qualities within us (and more of certain ones depending on our individual stage in life): lover, thinker, feeler, leader, mate, wild primal huntress...
| Author | Zsuzsanna E. Budapest |
| ISBN | 0914728679 |
I've been waiting to read this book for ages, and now that I finally have started to read it I'm so disappointed and angry! This is so much crap!
Where are all the women's mysteries and magic? It all comes down to "we have to stop this chauvinistic, male-centered, women-oppressing world-spread society!"...
| Author | Marija Gimbutas |
| ISBN | 0500282498 |
Gimbutas' seminal (I use the word ironically) work is a beautiful, yet flawed, artifact. The plethora of images showing carvings and etchings on neolithic pottery and statuary, for the most part, is astounding and worth the price of the book alone. Gimbutas provides a taxonomy of these neolithic (and...

| Author | Tikva Frymer-Kensky |
| ISBN | 0029108004 |
Provides an excellent overview of goddess worship from Sumerian times to the Hellenistic period, with particular emphasis upon understanding mythological narratives, polytheism in Ancient Israel, the status of women in the ancient Near East, and debunking certain myths about temple prostitution...
| Author | Starhawk |
| ISBN | 0807010375 |
My edition is the old blue one with the white letters and it was part of opening the interior and exterior world for me back in the day. Starhawk's insistence on the integration of sexuality, politics and the personal power some refer to as magic has aged well, as has her vision of what we risk by not understanding...

| Author | Raphael Patai |
| ISBN | 0814322719 |
Having read the Myths of Genesis book coauthored with Robert Graves, I was atuned to Patais' name and approach. Finding a copy of his Hebrew Goddess therefore led to its purchase at a local bookstore.
Contrary to some reviewers, the Hebrew bible is replete with contradictions. It's just that...

365 Goddess: A Daily Guide to the Magic and Inspiration of the Goddess
| Author | Patricia J. Telesco |
| ISBN | 0062515683 |
Telesco really messed up in a couple of places in this book, and if she did so here, I hate to imagine where else she messed up. OK first of all - she writes, at the end of July, about a Goddess called "Voluspa." There is no such Goddess. The Voluspa is a poem, not a Goddess. It is found in a book called "The Poetic...
