She Shines For All, 6 Sep 2000
By Kelly (Fantasy Literature) - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Sun Goddess: Myth, Legend and History (Hardcover)
"The Sun represents the God; the Moon represents the Goddess."Not always true.
This book challenges the idea that female moons and male suns were the norm in ancient cultures, citing extensive mythology and folk legends involving the sun as a goddess.
I found this book to be inspiring, and a captivating read. I've been hauling it around in my purse since the day I bought it, and reading and rereading bits of it every time I get the chance.
Here are myths often overlooked, since they do not fit the traditional Wiccan worldview and stereotypes about the masculine and feminine forces. Here is a rich vein of stories and personalities to explore.
The rituals the author includes are different from the usual fare, too. If you love the Goddess and want to know more about one of her lesser-known aspects, the Sun Goddess, this book is for you.
