EVOKING THE GODDESS by Gareth Knight
Initiation, Worship, and the Eternal Feminine in the Western Mysteries
$12.95
In this wide-ranging view of magic and ritual, Gareth Knight discusses the presence of the Goddess in Western esoteric traditions. From Greek myths and the Mysteries of Isis to the emergence of the cult of the Blessed Virgin and seventeenth-century Rosicrucian spiritual alchemy, the author shows how the Goddess -- the elemental consciousness of Earth -- has revealed herself in different times and places. Honoring her many guises, Knight uncovers the powers of the Goddess as maiden, mother, initiator, protector, and faery queen. Guided meditations on each of these qualities lead the aspirant into direct contact with the potent healing energy of the Divine Feminine.
Author of Tarot and Magic and the Practical Guide to Qabalistic Symbolism, Gareth Knight was trained in the esoteric school founded by Dion Fortune and has been actively involved in the Western magical tradition for more than thirty years. His book offers practical tools for integrating this tradition with the time-honored worship of the Goddess.
