Goddess archetypes have existed for thousands of years as sources of feminine power. Awakening Your Goddess helps today's women draw inspiration from goddesses of many cultures as a means to self-fulfillment. The author points out how every woman's life is influenced by various goddess archetypes, then advises on how to create a balance among them to achieve personal wholeness. There are three archetypes. First is the Maiden, as embodied in such goddesses as Artemis, Persephone, and Athena, among others. Maiden behavior patterns appear in mother-daughter, father-daughter, and sister-sister relationships. Second is the Mother, with examples including Isis and Hera. Mother behavior patterns include the drive to bear children and to become a home-maker and a significant other. Third is Wise Woman, personified by Kali, Cailleach, Hecate, and others. The Wise Woman is goddess as achiever. She is competent and equal to men. She inspires the independent woman who does not have to submerge her own personality in favor of others. An important chapter titled "Intergration and Maintenance" tells women how to use and balance the qualities of different goddess archetypes, and how each archetype tends to dominate different times in the life of most women. Integrating them in her own being is a woman's way to create herself as a fulfilled person. Each chapter contains meditation exercises, self-help questions, and other features to help each reader empower her own being. Full-color illustrations throughout.
