The Goddess Within: A Guide to the Eternal Myths that Shape Women's Lives
AuthorJennifer Barker Woolger
ISBN0449902870
If I could pick one goddess archetype I am most like...isn't really the focus in this book.

Ancient Mirrors of Womanhood: A Treasury of Goddess and Heroine Lore from Around the World
AuthorMerlin Stone
ISBN0807067512
I really like this book, but that might surprise people who know me well. That's because I studied Classics and ancient Greek goddesses, and this book does not provide a balanced academic portrayal of the deities. Which is not to say its not well researched, but neither is that the book's point, I suspect....

ISBN0914728679
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!"...
The Language of the Goddess
AuthorMarija Gimbutas
ISBN0500282498
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...

Jambalaya: The Natural Woman's Book of Personal Charms and Practical Rituals
AuthorLuisah Teish
ISBN0062508598
Be Thou Forewarned...I am incapable of being non-biased when it comes to this book. I'm simply too close to the material it explores, and after reading it, I feel a strong connection to Ms. Luisah Teish herself. And that, in short, is why I adore it.

"Jambalaya: The Natural Woman's Book of Personal...
Dreaming the Dark: Magic, Sex, and Politics
AuthorStarhawk
ISBN0807010375
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...
