The Book of Goddesses is a celebration of the Divine Feminine, drawing inspiration from the many goddesses honored throughout history in various cultures around the globe. This lavishly illustrated, greatly expanded 10th Anniversary Edition of Kris Waldherr's beloved classic pays homage to 100 of these revered women (74 more than the original edition), and is structured around the feminine rites of passage: Beginnings, Love, Motherhood, Creativity, Strength, and Transformation. These goddess stories tell of women's innate divinity, dignity, and potency--their ability to create life from their bodies, their strength of character, their magic. This visually stunning book, by an author/illustrator with an enormous fan base, is a testament to the power, passion, wisdom, and beauty of women everywhere, in all stages of life.
Kris Waldherr is a well-known author and illustrator.
