About this title

Synopsis

She Lives! celebrates the return of female divinity to our spiritual lives. The book opens with a creation myth, followed by a mythological account of the suppression of Goddess worship. Five other myth-like short stories tell about the return of the Goddess in our own time in Pagan, Christian, Jewish, and other settings. Also included are rituals for menarche, first orgasm, and menopause, as well as Goddess-centered rituals for male milestones; and celebrations for the equinoxes and solstices with choreographed dances and musically notated songs drawing on a variety of traditions. Several meditations round out this book, including a self-blessing belly dance.
