"The Complete Book of Women's Wisdom is a captivating exploration of all aspects of feminine power - sacred and profane, ancient and modern, creative and destructive.  Drawing on myths, legends, rituals and festivals from all over the world, Cassandra Eason examines the innate power of women and reveals how every woman can reclaim her feminine energy.
Part One looks at women and creation myths, from Gaia and the creator goddesses to bee and serpent goddesses.  Among the many forms of the divine feminine you will also find the rejuvenating goddess of spring, Ostara, and the goddess of wisdom, Sophia.  Part Two examines the power of the goddess from the strong Amazons to the enchantress Morgan Le Fey, the vengeful Furies to Adam's first wife Lilith.  Part Three looks at women in association with magic and wisdom.  Part Four explores the goddess within, while Part Five concentrates on women and the esoteric arts in which women emerge as alchemists, rune mistresses, diviners, witches and practitioners of many forms of magic.  Part Six explores love and sex, including women's near-birth experiences, fertility magic, taboos and purification, and rites of passage.
Thoroughly researched and beautifully illustrated, The Complete Book of Women's Wisdom is a rich and fascinating reference book for every woman."
