Modern society is experiencing a tremendous revival of interest in Goddess spirituality, which is found in all ancient cultures and civilizations. As we become aware of the fragility of our environment and of issues such as climate change, we feel a pressing need to rediscover our age-old relationship with the Earth and the cycles of life and time. This book weaves a pattern of Goddess research, spiritual practices and contemporary ideas. It draws on the fields of history and archaeology, folklore and legend, earth mysteries, and new physics and anthropology, and explores the space where science and magic meet.

Reviews

In her new book Cheryl combines legend, landscape and women's ceremonies to create a wonderful mixture of Goddess experience in the present day. Her knowledge ranges from the paleolithic and neolithic eras to modern times as we follow her explorations of sacred sites from the Cave of the Bear in Crete to the Cave of Cats at Rathcroghan in Ireland. A feast of information, ideas, facts and visions. Kathy Jones, co-founder of the Glastonbury Goddess Conference and author of The Ancient British Goddess
