Voices of the Sacred Feminine - a Book to Change Our World

By now you may have noticed I am picky on what books I review.  I only accept requests on books that I have taken a close look at and feel are of great quality.  There are so many in print that are either pointless or can actually do harm that I feel if a book is going to be brought to people's attention, it better deserve it! This is a book I was asked to review.  I had high hopes for it when I first heard of it.  This is one request I can honestly say i am so glad appeared in my inbox.

We are in a time that knowledge of the Goddess in her many forms and her stories are becoming more and more visible.  This is a movement that brings relief to these of us who have spent decades or, as in my case, a lifetime waiting with baited breath for it to happen.  I admit to a strong leaning towards books of this nature.  Voices of the Sacred Feminine is one of the best of these new offerings I have come across in recent years. It is divided into five sections: I - Sacred Feminine. Deity, Archetype and Ideal. II -  Embracing the Sacred Feminine. Ritual and Healing. III -  Sacred Feminine Values – Alternatives to Patriarchy. Politics and Social Change. IV - Rebirthing the Sacred Feminine. Sacred Activism. V -  In Memory of Layne Redmond.  Each contains a collection of fascinating essays.

The greatest gift contained within this book is not only that it is nearly overflowing with wisdom from scholars all over the world from many different perspectives, but that it has such a variety of knowledge that anyone can find something of benefit.  A lifelong scholar can find updated information.  A newcomer will discover many different perspectives and facets of the Goddess.  Even someone who has never really thought about it, such as the spouse or loved one of a person who follows the Divine Feminine, can find so much knowledge that will help them better understand the path of someone important in their life.

This is a book to both sit and read through and save for later to refer back time and time again.  I can't recommend it highly enough.  Not only is Voices an important volume for pagans of any branch, but also for students of world religion, our children, and anyone interested in interfaith relationships with a pagan and/or Goddess worshiper.  This is a book about goddesses, pagan culture, and the hope for a future of gender equality. Read this for your mothers, your wives, your daughters and yourself. You won't regret a moment of it.
