%X From the fertile earth mothers of the ancient world to the modern revival of interest in Wicca, or witchcraft, images and tales of the Female Divine have flourished and waned, intimidated, compforted and inspired women and men form time immemorial. In Goddess, David Leeming and Jake Page gather some 75 of the most potent and meaningful tales of the Female Divine in an extraordinarily rich and readable introduction of this figure. Told as a biography, this work follows Goddess from her first Ice Age appearance to her re-emergence as a powerful force in the myths of modern religion, psychology and science. In a work as compelling as any novel, we observe Goddess worshipped, belittled, denied and rediscovered. Through this process, we gain new insight into the changing role of women and our continuing development as a species
