“This is the perfect book for anyone who wants to understand the evolution of the woman as deity. The Goddess tells us the intriguing story of the feminine principle as worshipped in dozens of cultures and across thousands of years. Just about every goddess from India’s Kali to Ireland's Morrigan puts in an appearance in this amazing and sprawling saga. . . . Begin reading and prepare to be seduced by tales as old as Eve herself. You will not be disappointed.”

“Spanning the cultures of ancient India, Iran, the Near East, classical antiquity, and Celtic and Germanic Europe, and ranging from the Paleolithic to the ascendancy of monotheism, the authors unveil the many faces of the goddess: embodiment of wisdom; the incarnation of sexual desire; living nurturer of field, forest, and sea; life-giving mother; and sacred personification of death. The Goddess will stimulate readers eager for an introduction to the cultural and religious identities of these ancient cultures.”
