Goddess: When She Rules: Expressions by Contemporary Women

by Catherine L. Schweig (Editor), Sandra M. Allagapen (Editor), Julia W. Prentice (Editor)

This is the fourth anthology to emerge from the "Journey of the Heart Poetry Project." Contributors to this volume share moving personal stories, reflections and poetry exploring and defining the role the goddess plays in each of their lives. Through diverse and evolving relationships with archetypal goddesses, mythical goddesses and the inner goddesses they identify with most, women reveal when and how they feel intimately connected with the sacred feminine. Together, their words echo worldwide efforts aimed at ushering in a new paradigm for peace in which the feminine principles of creativity, receptivity, intuition and wisdom—independent of gender—rise to prominence. As we hear the authors reclaim might and magic, the resurgence of the goddess is unmistakable in their impassioned writings.
