Synopsis

Discover the power of Hindu, Greek and Egyptian goddesses to bring you love, peace, healing, and personal power, in Invoke the Goddess by Kala Trobe

The Goddess has already given you the innate capacity to heal yourself. She can be your ally on your personal healing journey as you manifest those abilities. Invoke the Goddess explores the symbolism of 15 Hindu, Egyptian, and Greek manifestations of the Divine, and offers you guided visualizations that will show you how to avail yourself of Her power:

·Looking for love? Aphrodite will assist you
·Need a magickal boost? Isis will show you the way
·Want to make amends with others or yourself? Nephthys will help
·Lacking in Inspiration? Sarasvati will set your creativity flying

The key to working with these deities is the use of specialized, in-depth visualizations described in Invoke the Goddess. To help you get the most from these powerful visualizations, this book contains a thorough guide to cleansing your chakras, preparing ritual colored baths of solarized water, and the basics of a healthful and magickal diet and exercise plan.

From India, you will learn to work closely with Sarasvati, Durga, Kali, Laksmi, and Radha. Goddesses you will work with from the Egyptian pantheon are Isis, Nephthys, Hathor, Maat, and Sekhmet. The Greek goddesses you will invoke include Artemis, Persephone, Hecate, Aphrodite, and Iris. The visualizations will help you attune with one or more of these deities closer than ever before.

No matter what reason you have for needing the inspiration of the Goddess, you can find the one who offers you exactly the aspect of the Divine you need, when you get Invoke the Goddess.

Review

"...an excellent resource guide to Goddesses of different cultures." -- Rev. Rosemary Riley

"...helpful for anyone looking for the Goddess inside themselves." -- Silver Wheel, Lughnasa 2000

"A lovely workbook for self-development." -- Children of the Earth, Fall 2000

"Superlative package of fine work! This is one very inclusive and thoroughly researched book for many pathways." -- Tara News, May 2000

"Trobe does a wonderful job of describing the multifaceted female character types represented by goddesses throughout the world..." -- Beliefnet.com

Hecate, the crone, who knows the world and can see past exteriors. Artemis, the athlete, androgynous and attentive, whose independence is countered by a sense that the world is against her. Isis, the goddess of the interior world, spiritually inclined and always a little distant from harsh reality, inclined towards pretension. Radha, the embodiment offeminine adoration and forgiveness, the misguided dreamer. These are just a few of the characters introduced in Kala Trobe's "Invoke the Goddess." Though the book is full of "magickal" exercises and visualization techniques which the reader can use to channel the power of the goddesses in her own life, its most interesting, memorable aspect is its description of the character types represented by goddesses around the world, the innumerable feminine archetypes. Trobe does a wonderful job of describing the multifaceted female character types embodied by the goddesses, and sometimes her efforts to update the goddesses to the modern world are nothing short of delightful--as when she describes Kali as a teenager, who "enjoys fierce music and pours scorn on her peer group's proclivity toward boy bands." Who wouldn't like to be her friend--or at least visualize her for company every now and again? (Beliefnet, June 2000) -- From Beliefnet
