Biographical note
Carol P. Christ is Director of the Ariadne Institute for the Study of Myth and Ritual. Her previous books include Diving Deep and Surfacing (1995) and Laughter ofAphrodite (1993).
First published in 1999. One of the most unexpected developments of the late twentieth century is the rebirth of the religion of the Goddess in western cultures. Though we were taught that the Gods and Goddesses died with the triumph of Christianity, the re-emergence of the Goddess is not as surprising as it might seem. This book explores the meaning of the Goddess, and the questions we ask as well as the ways we answer them.
