Product Description

Product Description

This important work provides a unique, single-volume reference to more than a thousand goddesses of the world. The book is also of enormous practical value in discovering and celebrating the transforming love of the Goddess. "The Witches' Goddess" falls into three main sections. Part I reveals the many faces of the Goddess: her presence throughout history, her Earth and Moon symbolism, her Madonna and Magdalene disguises, her revelation in Woman and her influence today. In Part II, the Farrars share detailed Craft rituals for involving the Goddess in thirteen of her many aspects from Ishtar to Isis, from dark Hecate to Aphrodite. Part III is an alphabetical listing of more than a thousand goddesses of the world, giving a brief history and the main correspondences for each. All three sections have helpful line drawings and diagrams in addition to the photographic illustrations accompanying the text. "The Witches' Goddess" is an invaluable contribution to the literature on the Goddess principle, written at a time when that principle is inspiring or disturbing Western thought more than it has for many centuries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Fantastic...bringing the feminine divine to life, 9 April 2001
By Ms. Clair E. Mcmullen (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Witches' Goddess (Paperback)
The female aspect of the divine has been neglected for a long time, but in this book the Farrars have managed to shed a lot of light on the subject, withouth taking anything away from the masculine.

Split into three sections, the first covering the archetypal roles of the goddess, the second looking more closely at a few goddesses from around the world and the third acting as an encycolpedia for the diverse Goddesses that are and have been worshipped around the world.

For those with a Pagan leaning the second section also contains suggested rituals and prayers for how to approach particular Goddesses.

This is a truly brilliant book if you ever felt that you needed a little bit of an extra female touch in your life, or if you are just interested in mythology.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good effort, 12 Feb 2009
By Icy (London, UK) - See all my reviews
Mixing feminist thought with religion, Janet Farrar has made a good study of the Goddess as she appears through different cultures. Farrar discusses the importance of the figure of a Goddess before moving on to a more in-depth examination of many goddesses, including Ishtar, Isis, Maat, Aphrodite and Hecate. Rituals for each goddess are also included, however if you are NOT of the Alexandrian or Gardnerian tradition, or simply do not belong to a coven, you might find these difficult and/or pointless. The last third of the book is simply a weighty dictionary which makes this a good reference book, but sadly the tone is too dry and too Wiccan-oriented for me to give it a higher rating.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good reference
The Farrars are well-known writers on Wiccan practice, and it is really for Wiccans that this book seems to have been written. Read more
