★ 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 | Starhawk |
| ISBN | 0062508164 |
I have a complicated relationship with Starhawk's writing. I am an atheist. I was a teenager when I was introduced to Neo-Paganism, and it was what led me to finally leave my mother's faith, and slowly become an atheist. This book might appear to be filled with crystal waving New Age woo-woo, but Starhawk...

| ISBN | 0807067512 |
I really like this book, but that might surprise people who know me well.

Which is not to say its not well researched, but neither is that the book's point, I suspect....
