Storyteller's Goddess is a collection of more than 30 stories from 20
cultures that celebrate the goddess. They are organized around seven

describing props that can be used to invoke that story's goddess - from
Kali and Hecate to Shekina, Kuan Yin, Athena, Mary, and Lilith.

masculine psychology based on archetypes personified by Greek gods is at
least as simplistic as sun-sign astrology but often sounds more vapid.
