Sharron Rose, an internationally acclaimed teacher, writer, and performer and Fulbright scholar in world mythology, religion, and sacred dance, has been investigating the wisdom of ancient cultures for the past twenty-five years. She lives in Los Olivos, California, with her husband and hermetic scholar, Jay Weidner.
". . . will raise the feminine power to the level of consciousness
needed in the 21st century. Exploring the true nature of women's
emotion, the visualizations and meditations are unique and
imaginative, as well as effective."
*SageWoman magazine*
"Rose is a masterful teacher and writer. . . . Reading this book
can be a big step in reclaiming our feminine heritage."
*Maya del Mar, Maya Del Mar's Daykeeper Journal, July 2003*
"In this beautifully written book Sharron Rose shares her
challenging journey between two diametrically opposed cultures: the
ancient, spiritually dominated world of the East and the modern,
technologically dominated world of the West. An intriguing tale of
an American seeker on the spiritual path."
*Ellen Burstyn, actor and writer*
"In this rich and fascinating book Sharron Rose evokes the
connection between the Goddess and the luminous energy body in a
way that is meaningful to modern readers. Through this process she
reveals an ancient and sacred path toward healing ourselves and the
world around us. A must read for anyone in the healing and
performing arts."
*Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D., author of Shaman, Healer, Sage*
"An inspiring read. Sharron Rose takes us on her spiritual journey,
unveiling at every turn the presence of the Divine Feminine that
has been hidden in this age of spiritual materialism, an age from
which we are beginning to awaken."
*Belinda Gore, Ph.D., president of The Cuyamungue Institute and
author of Ecstatic Body Postures: An*
"Dancer, artist, philosopher, and spiritual adept, Sharron Rose is
of the lineage of those bold and luminous women who take the
journey to the Goddess wherever and to whomever it may lead. In
this potent work Shakti power dances off each page. Here is the
Goddess in her many forms, and in her masterful teachings. Here is
living witness to the emergence of the light of the Divine Feminine
after the long dark night of the patriarchy. Here, in vibrant
words, is the transmission of the sacred current that would
illumine our reality."
*Jean Houston, Ph.D, author of A Mythic Life and Jump Time*
"The Path of the Priestess provides both eloquent insights into the
nature of Goddess energy and ways for the reader to realize it for
themselves. Goddess consciousness is the evolutionary path of
choice for the planet. I give The Path of the Priestess my highest
endorsement."
*Penny Slinger Hills, author of Sexual Secrets*
"Her knowledge of the Goddess is deep-felt and genuine. Her poetic
Goddess imagery can be used for lifting your spirits and for
drawing forth the joy of knowing the Divine Feminine in
yourself."
*SageWoman magazine*
"The Path of the Priestess takes us on a compelling journey deep
into the heart of the feminine experience. It presents a glimpse of
the essential and significant role of women as caretakers of the
psychic, energetic, and emotional landscape of society. . . .
surely this book will prove to be a landmark text in this
ever-expanding journey of awakening."
*Lesley Crossingham, New Dawn, Nov-Dec 2006*
"The conversational tone make it an experience similar to curling
up with a close friend with whom you've lost touch."
*Cerridwen Iris Shea, SageWoman, December-March 2004, No.63*
