520 1 $a"The Image of a Mother Goddess who embodies all the processes of nature has proved to be one of the most resonant and influential of the modern era. Restored to her ancient status as Supreme Being, the Goddess is today a potent figurehead for feminists, Paganists, and environmentalists, as well as for countless others concerned to find a more harmonious way to live in the modern world. This book is an intriguing exploration of Goddess worship in different cultures form the Palaeolithic period to the present day."--BOOK JACKET.
