This compilation of key texts regards the position and contribution of women to the world's religions, past and present, Western and Eastern, mainstream and alternative. The literary genres include creation myths, sacred biography, folk tradition and, most controversially, religious laws on such subjects as menstruation and childbirth, sex and marriage, and inheritance. Cross-cultural themes reveal positive, as well as negative images - woman as evil, but also wisdom as feminine, witches and goddesses, myths of gender conflict and transformation.

This book fills the very real need for an affordable, accessible, academic textbook featuring Goddesses from a wide range of world religious, cultural and mythological traditions. As a textbook, its primary audience is professors and students in university and college courses in Goddess Studies, Religious Studies, and Women's and Gender Studies. It will also be of interest to students and instructors in the many Goddess-themed courses outside the academy. The contributors to the textbook were selected for their scholarly expertise and qualifications in their respective areas of study, both established and emerging scholars from Canada, the U.S., the U.K., Scandinavia, and Australia. The Goddess traditions surveyed in the 23 chapters include the Female Divine in the major world religions-not only Hinduism and Buddhism, but also in the "Western Religions" of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, popularly regarded as impervious to the Goddess. The coverage ranges from ancient to contemporary, Mago to Mary Magdalene. As such, it is a unique and much-needed resource for students and faculty, as well as a treasury of Goddess scholarship. [Editorial Note: Regarding the Artworks by Sudie Rakusin and Deborah Jane Milton in Appendix, only e-book and the color print book include them. In order to save space for the book, the list of References is made available in the Mago Books website. (Free PDF download available in a page entitled Goddesses in Myth, History and Culture under the menu of Textbooks in http: //www.magobooks.com). In any case, all chapters are formatted so that full bibliographical information can be found in the footnotes.]

There is a sense of power and confidence experienced by women who are in touch with the sacred feminine. If they are able to integrate her into their lives, they will experience a greater sense of fulfillment. In Everyday Goddesess: Ancient Myths for Modern Women, author Julie Loar makes our calendar year far richer and more exciting by introducing 366 goddesses, day by day. The book presents sacred icons representing their power, and vignettes indicating how their universal presence has affected womenâs lives through the millennia. From the first day of the year, when Loar introduces White Tara, the symbol of eternity and âone of the manifestations of the Great Goddess Tara,â to the December 31 goddess Kali Ma, the sign of resurrection and a Hindu goddess of India, our senses are filled with the richness of our history. Whether the goddess is Irish or Chinese, Greek or Hindu, every woman will resonate with the spirituality and force of the sacred feminine.

This book brings to life the meaning of the stories of the seven goddesses of Greek mythology. Each goddess represents a “sacred calling,” a way of life whose goal is to live for the sake of something greater than oneself. Athena is the goddess of wisdom and justice; Artemis is the woods woman who protects the natural world; Demeter is the goddess of the fertility of the earth and the birth and nurturing of children; Hera is the wife of Zeus, the king, who dedicates her life to creating a high quality of public life through nurturing various community activities; Aphrodite is the goddess of creativity; Persephone is the victim who was raped by Hades and abducted to the underworld where she punishes those who victimized others while alive; and Hestia is the contemplative, she who reflects upon human affairs and “sees” how all the parts fit a larger whole. The book will allow readers to recognize themselves and their own sacred passions in these stories. Once recognized, women can educate themselves and each other. They can use the wisdom represented in Greek mythology to create meaningful and complete lives in the context of a culture that is still dominated by men and their passions. In this way, women will be liberated to do everything they can to leave a better world behind for their children, grandchildren and future generations.

Many are familiar with Joseph Campbell's theory of the hero's journey, the idea that every man from Moses to Hercules grows to adulthood while battling his alter-ego. This book explores the universal heroine's journey as she quests through world myth. Numerous stories from cultures as varied as Chile and Vietnam reveal heroines who battle for safety and identity, thereby upsetting popular notions of the passive, gentle heroine. Only after she has defeated her dark side and reintegrated can the heroine become the bestower of wisdom, the protecting queen and arch-crone. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

"The scholarship in this book is superior, revealing a depth of insight and a scope of knowledge possible only from a scholar who has lived with the concerns of feminist theology for decades. Ruether is a gifted storyteller, and lucidly translates complex ideas and debates. This work is of the highest importance, and Ruether asks the right questions at the right time. The text is groundbreaking."—Nancy Pineda-Madrid, Saint Mary's College of California "Ruether has provided a valuable introduction to an important feminist topic: what can we know about sacred female imagery in Western culture? She guides us through contemporary feminist scholarship, providing engaging narrative, and venturing her own interpretations. Ruether calls for feminists to move beyond divisions created by our different interpretations of prehistory and work together towards our common project of a more peaceful, just, and ecological world."—Carol Hepokoski, Meadville Lombard Theological School
