The Myth of the Goddess: Evolution of an Image: The Evolution of an Image - Hardcover
Book 8 of 34: Arkana S.
Synopsis
This book traces the evolution of ideas and images of the goddess in the West from prehistoric times, through Crete, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece and the Middle East to her manifestation in Judaism (Eve etc), Christianity (Mary) and agnosticism (Sophia). The perspective is historical with Jungian overtones. Images are interpreted, not merely presented, and it is argued that the goddess needs to play a more valued role today.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. 1st printing with number line down to 1. Crisp and unmarked, F/NF. xv, 779pp., index, notes and references, bibliography, illustrations. Foreword by Sir Laurens Van Der Post. Very nice unclipped jacket offered now in a new mylar cover. -- In this definitive and powerfully argued study, scholarly yet accessible, Jules Cashford and Anne Baring draw upon art and mythology, poetry and literature, archaeology and psychology, to show how the myth of the Goddess has been lost from our formal Judaeo~Christian images of the divine. They explain what happened to the Goddess, when and how she was excluded, and the implications to us of this loss. Size: 8vo - 8" - 9" Tall. Seller Inventory # 069101
