Goddesses often are labeled as one-dimensional forces of nature or fertility. In examining a number of goddesses whose primary role is sovereignty, this volume reveals the rich diversity of goddess traditions. Drawn from a variety of cultural and historical settings, the goddesses described here include Inanna of ancient Sumer, Oshun of Nigeria, and Cihuacoatl of pre-historical America.

The depth and breadth of this series is not widely appreciated. At the core of the work is the timeless interplay between good and evil that has bedevilled mankind throughout his history and is developed at the physical, religious and psychological levels. During the unfolding of the story, the method of delivery alters from reported fact as the legend to favour mental imagery when events are reported in parallel as though they relate either to the legend or occur in the mind. The intention of the author is to hit that special chord at the end where the reader yearns for Debden, the main character, to be real. She is obliged to rise in stature both in terms of her physical powers and intellectually from a protected childhood. Her powers are incredible and without any known limit and so advanced that she must learn, not only what they are, but how best to use them without guidance. Despite this, her responsibilities are also beyond comprehension for she has jurisdiction over the entire Earth. Soon however, it is clear that even this is well within her capabilities and she is soon beyond even the higher gods in intellectual brilliance and highest magic. But despite it all, our heroine is a paradox of the most brilliant star that humankind will follow anywhere and self-reproach, and on whom pressure is unrelenting. The breaking point is never far below the surface and she continuously sails close to the wind. This story is developed over a canvas of many centuries and is forged robustly in terms of scale and action but with great sensitivity with respect to the key characters. Several parallel threads run through the work and there are many sub-plots. Three of them in order of importanceare as follows: the vulnerability of Debden, the early loss of her husband, for whom she is destined to search desperately for several centuries and thirdly, the consequences of immortality on relationships and the weariness of experience. But there are others and some are extremely pressing emotionally. The aRise of a Goddessa presents a great richness of landscapes and weathers. Wonderful kingdoms are described not only on the surface but deep beneath the Earth and in distant galaxies in a manner that is bold and expansive in nature. The raging battles of epic magnitude take place in these environments and Debdenas abilities take her into other times and dimensions. The story fuses our common knowledge of the weakness of man and imagination using a tale that passes from past to future and concludes in the furnace heat of the Pillars of Creation in the Eagle nebula, where Debden fights, on behalf of mankind, for the continuation of life itself.

Can we re-imagine divine power as deeply related to the changing world? Can we re-imagine the creation of the world as an ongoing process of co-creation in which every individual from particles of atoms to human beings plays a part? Can we re-imagine Goddess/God as the most relational of all relational beings? Can we re-imagine the world as the body of Goddess/God? If we can, then we can understand the deeper meaning of female images of divine power, including Goddess, God-She, Sophia, and Shekhina. Many traditional understandings of divine power begin with thinly disguised rejections of the female body and connection to the natural world. Women theologians from Jewish, Christian, Goddess, and other traditions are re-imagining divine and human power as embodied, embedded in a changing world, and deeply related to all beings in the web of life. Drawing on the work of process philosopher Charles Hartshorne - whose insights deserve a wider hearing - Carol P. Christ offers intellectual foundations for deeply held feelings about the meanings of female images of divine power. Her gift is the ability to make complex ideas seem simple and radically new ideas seem familiar. This book is addressed to everyone who has ever wondered about the implications of re-imagining God as female.

The monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have severely limited the portrayal of the divine as feminine. But in Hinduism "God" very often means "Goddess." This extraordinary collection explores twelve different Hindu goddesses, all of whom are in some way related to Devi, the Great Goddess. They range from the liquid goddess-energy of the River Ganges to the possessing, entrancing heat of Bhagavati and Seranvali. They are local, like Vindhyavasini, and global, like Kali; ancient, like Saranyu, and modern, like "Mother India." The collection combines analysis of texts with intensive fieldwork, allowing the reader to see how goddesses are worshiped in everyday life. In these compelling essays, the divine feminine in Hinduism is revealed as never before--fascinating, contradictory, powerful.

The White Goddess is perhaps the finest of Robert Graves's works on the psychological and mythological sources of poetry. In this tapestry of poetic and religious scholarship, Graves explores the stories behind the earliest of European deities—the White Goddess of Birth, Love, and Death—who was worshipped under countless titles. He also uncovers the obscure and mysterious power of "pure poetry" and its peculiar and mythic language.
