When the Drummers Were Women: A Spiritual History of Rhythm
AuthorLayne Redmond
ISBN0609801287
Redmond's thesis is quite fascinating, and it is wonderful to see this area of oft-overlooked women's spirituality and religion come to light. However, I was a little disappointed in the writing of this book, finding it straying too far from the intended topic of the history of women's drumming practices....
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....
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...
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...
The Grandmother of Time: A Woman's Book of Celebrations, Spells, and Sacred Objects for Every Month of the Year
AuthorZsuzsanna E. Budapest
ISBN0062501097
I consider myself a strong feminist, so I was excited for this book. There are inaccuracies throughout. In several places I found myself having to just walk away dumbfounded. The mythology and history of nearly every section has a fifty-fifty chance of being just wrong. (Pallas Athena is Greek, not...

Weaving the Visions: New Patterns in Feminist Spirituality
AuthorJudith Plaskow
ISBN0060613831
This book made my mind explode when I read it in the early 1990s. This book connected me to a history of women in religious life and to a more fuller and complex understanding of God's nature that I had ever previously thought possible. Would it hit someone with the same impact today? It depends upon your...
