Dialogue with the Goddess: Expanded Edition

You are invited to witness one woman’s dialogue with the Goddess and receive reports on what you find when you are on the Goddess Path. Prayers and poems of a modern mystic allow you to “overhear” the human half of this occasionally ecstatic and sometimes troubled communication. Names, stories, and images of many Goddesses help you identify and grasp the varied aspects of the Divine Feminine but this is not an encyclopedia of Goddesses. It is a prayer book that includes the public and most private prayers of a modern woman. And it is a travel guide. The author shares her own adventure finding the Goddess and what wonders she discovered when in the presence of the Goddess. Expand your own dialogue with the Divine with grounded, practical advice on how to overcome cultural barriers to the living Goddess. The living Presence fills this book and will overflow into your heart. This expanded edition contains more prayers, more Goddesses, and a new chapter on how the Divine intervenes in one’s life. Cynthia Tootle offers a prayer book, a wise guide, a conversation, and beautiful images to nurture relationships with the Goddess in Her many splendors. Savor this offering with all of the richness it entails. You, too, can be among Her loves. Mary E. Hunt, Co-director, Women’s Alliance for Theology, Ethics and Ritual (WATER) Rev. Tootle's exhaustive knowledge and powerful, light-filled prayers and rituals are truly a gift for anyone who would like to make a deeper spiritual connection. I was especially intrigued by the stories of each of the Goddesses and the spiritual lessons they contain. Reverend Jim Webb, Author, Pathways to Inner Peace and Keys to Enlightened Living
