About this ebook

From the best-known authors on witchcraft, a three-part reference for discovering and celebrating the Female Principle of Divinity.

The Witches’ Goddess is of great practical value in discovering and celebrating the transforming energy of the Female Principle of Divinity.

A companion to The Witches’ God, this is an important, three-part work by the Farrars, providing an in-depth exploration of the Goddess in her many aspects at a time when Western Culture is awakening to the influence of Feminine Divinity, both individually and collectively. In part one, they outline the numerous 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 two, they examine thirteen goddesses from history, including Ishtar, Isis, Hecate, and Aphrodite, and offer rituals for invoking them. Part three is a comprehensive dictionary of more than 1,000 goddesses from cultures all over the world and throughout time. Each section features helpful line drawings, diagrams, and photographic illustrations.

The Witches’ Goddess is part of The Paranormal, a series that resurrects rare titles, classic publications, and out-of-print texts, as well as publishes new supernatural and otherworldly ebooks for the digital age. The series includes a range of paranormal subjects from angels, fairies, and UFOs to near-death experiences, vampires, ghosts, and witchcraft.

    In the early 1990's this along with Starhawk were the only books that pointed the way. Much has changed, but it is a classic!
  • Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
    3/5
    This is not an easy read. It reads almost like a textbook and is beyond what anyone besides an academic is capable of reading due to the highly technical writing style. Not to say the information is not good or complete. It just isn't for the everday person wanting to expand their basic knowledge of Godesses or their place in the history.
