Many-Named. A Study of the Feminine in Divinity

«Many-Named» — a work full of scientific excitement and mystery. Shedding light on the historical, spiritual, and cultural aspects of the Goddess as a natural complement to God, this unique collection of works weaves together the voices of four outstanding specialists in recognition of the Goddess. The undeniable importance of Eternal Femininity, symbolizing the idea of compassion and absolute freedom, is brilliantly reflected in these unique works.

Each essay reveals the multifaceted nature of the Goddess. «The Mystical Number of the Goddess», the last work in the brilliant career of Joseph Campbell, serves as a confirmation of his long-standing belief in the Great Goddess. This idea, present in earlier writings, is presented through mythology and religion as a conviction in the obvious significance of the Goddess rather than just the Father-God. In the article «“Terrible Venus” of the prehistoric period: The Divine Creator», Maria Gimbutas offers a new interpretation of archaeological finds: the figurines of the Goddess should be viewed as mythical symbols rather than literal female images. In «The Goddess of Nature and Spirituality», Riane Eisler discusses the restoration of the relational model of ancient communities. An amazing study presented by Charles Mazius in «The Eternal Way of the Goddess» reveals to us the deep similarities between the traditions of Ancient Egypt and China. The book concludes with a chapter full of extraordinary and inexhaustible poetic celebration.

United in their recognition of the life force and significance of the Goddess, the inseparable connection of the past, present, and future, these works represent impressive testimonies of a truly interesting heritage.
