This weblog is dedicated to the Goddess and to saving the planet -- by gently replacing God the Father with God the Mother by the year 2035. Too simplistic? Nope, I don't think so. Female deities are role models for unconditional love. Violent sky/war gods are dangerous, to men as well as women. People are biologically programmed to need religion of one kind or another. (BTW, "thea"=Goddess, "theo"=god)

HOT Books
Hot
Below is my list of HOT BOOKS. These are the books that helped mold me into the Goddess revolutionary I have become. I could recite their titles and authors in my sleep. If you're ready to join the god-to-Goddess Revolution, I'd recommend reading them:
When God Was a Woman (Merlin Stone)
The Chalice and the Blade (Riane Eisler)
The Great Cosmic Mother (Monica Sjoo and Barbara Mor)
The Woman's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets (Barbara Walker)
Grandmother Time (Z Budapest)
The Spiral Dance (Starhawk)
Ancient Mirrors of Womanhood (Merlin Stone)
Amazon: A Novel (Barbara Walker)
From time to time I might explain why each book hit me so hard. I might even begin today, with "Amazon: A Novel."
I just discovered your site through Goddessing (I think) and have been reading back posts. Here, with your list of books, I was very proud to realize that I've read them all except for Barbara's noval, Amazon. But you can bet it's on my wishlist now. :)
ReplyDeleteA truly lovely site with a truly worthy cause. I am a practicing Dianic and the Goddess is the foundation of my life. Good luck with your journey.
Thanks for the feedback Meg. Come back and visit often. It's always comforting to me to meet people who've read that list of powerful & vital books. I KNOW you're going to enjoy *Amazon a Novel*!
