“The Heart of the Goddess Art, Myth and Meditations of the World’s Sacred Feminine†by Hallie Iglehart Austen was originally published in 1990, but Austen felt the time was right to bring it back.
She’s right. In this time of #resistance, Austen’s look at universal spiritual feminism is right on the mark. Respect for the earth, community building, and reclaiming the power womanhood all blend together in “The Heart of the Goddessâ€. Instead of your typical who’s who of female deities, Austen discusses each goddess from the perspective of a piece of artwork featuring the deity. This allows for a discussion of the origin of the art (geography and date) and with it, the history and culture surrounding the goddess.
To make “The Heart of the Goddess†a spiritual journey for the reader, the deities are collected into 3 parts Creation, Transformation, and Celebration. Along the way Austen presents meditations, prayers, and thought exercises with the goddesses.
Regardless of how many books you own or have read about goddesses, I guarantee you that you’ve never encountered anything like this. Informative, spiritual, and filled with art pieces from antiquity to contemporary times, “The Heart of the Goddess†is, and will remain, a classic.
