Book Description

Book Description
For as long as we have sought god, we have found the goddess. Ruling over the imaginations of humankind’s earliest agricultural civilizations, she played a critical spiritual role as a keeper of nature’s fertile powers and an assurance of the next sustaining harvest. In The Goddess, David Leeming and Christopher Fee take us all the way back into prehistory, tracing the goddess across vast spans of time to tell the epic story of the transformation of belief and what it says about who we are. Leeming and Fee use the goddess to gaze into the lives and souls of the people who worshipped her. They chart the development of traditional Western gender roles through an understanding of the transformation of concepts of the Goddess from her earliest roots in India and Iran to her more familiar faces in Ireland and Iceland. They examine the subordination of the goddess to the god as human civilizations became mobile and began to look upon masculine deities for assurances of survival in movement and battle. And they show how, despite this history, the goddess has remained alive in our spiritual imaginations, in figures such as the Christian Virgin Mother and, in contemporary times, the new-age resurrection of figures such as Gaia. The Goddess explores this central aspect of ancient spiritual thought as a window into human history and the deepest roots of our beliefs.

Book Description
Whether you are reading Greek mythology for psychological insights or studying the classics in college, there are a number of goddesses who have been almost entirely over-looked. They are who John Sanford calls the lesser-known goddesses. However, there is nothing lesser about them. They personify the deeper elements that exist across all life, nature, and spiritual reality. Our current culture often neglects their qualities but would be wise to increase its understanding of them. Many books, including the bestseller Goddesses in Everywoman by Jean Bolen, illustrate well-known goddesses who are the main characters in their stories. But behind the scenes and often running their personalities are the lesser-known goddesses from the ancient matriarchal era of Greek culture. To bring forward their spiritual meaning, Sanford has pieced together information from various Greek stories, plays, and poems. In so Boing, this unique book reacquaints us with: PEITHO Goddess of gentle persuasion who wins love by consent rather than force. THE THREE CHARITIËS Goddesses of Beauty, good cheer, and abundance who inspire both charm and grace. AIDOS Goddess of modesty, self-respect, and shame whose sensitivities heighten the joy of love. ANANKE Goddess of necessity who brings the realization of what must be done. THEMIS Goddess of right order who shows the rule of lines, limits, and boundaries. ATË Goddess of folly, ruin, and sin who disregards all morals and consequences. THE THREE FATES Goddesses of the unchangeable, and fateful events whose irrationalities shape each person's life. THE THREE ERINYES Goddesses of fury who unleash the unceasing, relentless, and envious anger of feminine justice. DIONYSUS God and goddess of ecstasy who vitalizes life through divine energy and creative Inspiration. JOHN A. (JACK) SANFORD is a Jungian Analyst, Marriage and Family Counselor, and Pastoral Counselor practicing in San Diego, California. He is the author of eighteen books on the subjects of psychology, religion, and individuation. He is well known for his works The Kingdom Within: A Study of the Inner Meaning of Jesus' Sayings and Evil: The Shadow Side of Reality. His most recent works include Mystical Christianity: A Psychological Commentary on the Gospel of John, Healing Body and Soul: The Meaning of Illness in the New Testament and in Psychotherapy, and Soul Journey: A Jungian Analyst Looks at Reincarnation. Dr. Sanford served as an Episcopal minister with the Reverend Morton T. Kelsey and studied depth psychology with the Tate Fritz Kunkel, M.D. He completed his training in Jungian analysis at the C. G. Jung Institute in Los Angeles. He and his wife, Lynn, have two grown children, a grandson, and a number of cats and dogs.

Book Description
Jenny Marchs acclaimed Dictionary of Classical Mythology, first published in 1998 but long out of print, has been extensively revised and expanded including a completely new set of beautiful line-drawing illustrations for this Oxbow edition. It is a comprehensive A Z guide to Greek and Roman mythology. All major myths, legends and fables are here, including gods and goddesses, heroes and villains, dangerous women, legendary creatures and monsters. Characters such as Achilles and Odysseus have extensive entries, as do epic journeys and heroic quests, like that of Jason and the Argonauts to win the Golden Fleece, all alongside a plethora of information on the creation of the cosmos, the many metamorphoses of gods and humans, and the Trojan War, plus more minor figures nymphs, seers, kings, rivers, to name but a few. In this superbly authoritative work the myths are brilliantly retold, along with any major variants, and with extensive translations from ancient authors that give life to the narratives and a sense of the vibrant cultures that shaped the development of classical myth. The 172 illustrations give visual immediacy to the words, by showing how ancient artists perceived their gods and heroes. The impact of myths on ancient art is also explored, as is and their influence in the postclassical arts, emphasising the ongoing inspiration afforded by the ancient myths. Also included are two maps of the ancient world, a list of the ancient sources and their chronology, the more important genealogies, and an index of recurrent mythical motifs.
