Now, with a new introduction and full-color artwork, this passionate and important text shows even more clearly that the religion of the Goddess--which is tied to the cycles of women’s bodies, the seasons, the phases of the moon, and the fertility of the earth--was the original religion of all humanity.

The Goddess
Author: David Leeming
Publisher: Reaktion Books
ISBN: 1780235380
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
For as long as we have sought god, we have found the goddess. Ruling over the imaginations of humankind’s earliest agricultural civilizations, she played a critical spiritual role as a keeper of nature’s fertile powers and an assurance of the next sustaining harvest. In The Goddess, David Leeming and Christopher Fee take us all the way back into prehistory, tracing the goddess across vast spans of time to tell the epic story of the transformation of belief and what it says about who we are. Leeming and Fee use the goddess to gaze into the lives and souls of the people who worshipped her. They chart the development of traditional Western gender roles through an understanding of the transformation of concepts of the Goddess from her earliest roots in India and Iran to her more familiar faces in Ireland and Iceland. They examine the subordination of the goddess to the god as human civilizations became mobile and began to look upon masculine deities for assurances of survival in movement and battle. And they show how, despite this history, the goddess has remained alive in our spiritual imaginations, in figures such as the Christian Virgin Mother and, in contemporary times, the new-age resurrection of figures such as Gaia. The Goddess explores this central aspect of ancient spiritual thought as a window into human history and the deepest roots of our beliefs.

The Church of the Cosmic Mother
Author: Deborah Turner-Bey
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781980973461
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
The Church of the Cosmic Mother is a guide to African American spirituality for the 21st century. Combining metaphysics, science, philosophy and a strong dose of Black Nationalism, it is an antidote to the dogma implied in monotheistic traditions that black is evil. Rather, it introduces the concept of the Divine Feminine as the lost connection between our blackness and our holiness. As a metaphysics book, it is primarily concerned with how, without exception, all creation on the physical place takes place in consciousness first. Where integration and legislation have failed to eliminate or even assuage racism in America, the practice of metaphysics will succeed. By purposefully creating our own businesses, education systems, helping organizations and institutions, African Americans can render the effects of racism utterly impotent. When we are no longer compelled to seek education, goods and services from White American institutions, racism ceases to be relevant. The Church of the Cosmic Mother is a call to action for us to take responsibility to create for ourselves and our descendants an environment in which we can thrive. The book lays out a three-fold approach to creating our desires with an extensive section on methods for practice of metaphysical principles. The goal is to prove for ourselves that when we dare to reclaim our connection to the Cosmic Mother, we take our rightful places as co-creators with Her not when we die, but right here on Earth.
