A deeply awakening yet radical exploration of the Goddess, the divine feminine, and the cultural forces that have formed the female condition—A must read for all feminists and spiritual seekers

“One of the most important books I’ve ever read.” – Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize Winning author of The Color Purple

For readers of Women Who Run with the Wolves, The Great Cosmic Mother offers a sweeping overview of the Goddess, allowing us to reconnect within, tap deep into our innate wisdom, harness the power of our mind, body, and spirit, and discover what it truly means to be a woman and spiritual being.

Drawing on religious, cultural, and archaeological sources to recreate the Goddess movement that is humanity’s heritage, this classic spiritual guide illuminates how, before the patriarchy, women—and their instinctual bodies—were more connected to the earth, and each other, than ever previously known. Women have had profound impact on modern society as we know it today, harnessing their connection with the cycles of the moon and fertility of the earth to discover time cycles, art, agriculture, language, and other universal stapes previously believed to be invented by man.

The Great Cosmic Mother revives modern and ancient matriarchal history allowing all readers to truly understand women as the creators of culture, innovators, and peacemakers throughout time. Through illustrations, symbolism, explorations of folklore and mythology, this profound source of wisdom will empower you to find your divine feminine energy and unlock the goddess within.
