This book traces the evolution of ideas and images of the goddess in the West from prehistoric times, through Crete, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece and the Middle East to her manifestation in Judaism (Eve etc), Christianity (Mary) and agnosticism (Sophia). The perspective is historical with Jungian overtones. Images are interpreted, not merely presented, and it is argued that the goddess needs to play a more valued role today.

BCA, London (.), 1991. XV,779p. ills. Bound wrps. Wrps bit worn. Name on free endpaper. 'This is the ultimate that has been written on the myth of the Goddess so far, a powerful and most complete synthesis of what we know about the goddess between the Upper Palaeolithic and modern times. The book is a clear and masterful presentation in fifteen chapters of the flourishing Goddess religion in Upper Palaeolithic and Neolithic times; its demise during the Bronze Age caused by the infiltration's of patriarchal Indo-Europeans and Semitic peoples in the Near East and Europe; a cruel and total dethronement during the Iron Age; and ultimately, the irresistible rise of the goddess as Sophia and Virgin Mary as an indestructible archetype needed for the fullness of life in an unbalanced patriarchal society. Each chapter is an indispensable part of the whole and yet each can be read as a separate book. This Magnum Opus will serve as a sourcebook and a guide for many coming years. It will be an indispensable source work for historians of religion, philosophers, anthropologists, archaeologists, and everyone else interested in this very important development of religious ideas. The learned and unbiased presentation of the problem will help to overcome the fear of the Goddess. Most of all this book will serve as a torch for the future, directing us to an understanding of female and male, goddess and god, not in terms of opposition, but as complementarity.'

About the book >.>.> The Myth of the Goddess: Evolution of an Image Book by Jules CashfordThe Myth of the Goddess traces the development of goddess imagery from the Palaeolithic and Neolithic periods, through the Bronze and Iron Ages, to the Virgin Mary as ?Queen of Heaven? Drawing on art, mythology, poetry, literature, archaeology and psychology, Jules Cashford and Anne Baring examine how the Goddess became excluded from formal Judaeo-Christian images of the divine, and consider when and how this happened and what its consequences have been. The authors describe the separation of God from an originally androgynous Goddess, and the eventual emergence of God as the sole creator of the world. They argue that the Goddess did not disappear entirely: the image of the universe as an organic, living and sacred whole persisted, though it was devalued and driven underground. The book also explores an imbalance between masculine and feminine images in the psyche, using patterns in myth, legend and history to argue for bringing these images into harmony. (MP).
