The Goddess Book: Understanding the Greek Goddesses of the Earth

Before Christianity, Judaism, and Islam captured the hearts and spirits of the Western world, there existed a rich variety of Goddesses and demi-Goddesses in most, if not all, cultures and groups. To this day, followers of Hindu, Voodoo, Shinto, and Native American religions make room for Goddesses in their views of the divine. This book explores the greater and best known of these goddesses, including Goddesses from almost every corner of the world. When possible, stories are told and context is given. Ways to worship each Goddess are also listed when they are not obvious from the stories in which they are featured.
