Rev. Judith Laxer Athena: A Goddess of Wisdom For Our TimeThe Greek Goddess Athena, also known as the Goddess of Wisdom, is often maligned because her myth relays that She was born from Her father's head rather than Her mother's womb. When we peel back the patriarchal layers of this tale, we begin to notice some discrepancies which will clue us into how Athena, like many strong women, is often considered a traitor to her sex. We will investigate the nature of androgyny, and discover how Athena models courage, intuition, authority, and strength; the principals of feminine leadership profoundly needed in our present times. We will discover that the archetype of Athena is fair, tough, wise and protective and is alive in every woman.

Transform Your Life by Uncovering Your Past Lives.....Are physical and mental illnesses the result of karma acquired in a past life, and if so, does uncovering that lifetime lead to healing? According to the yearlong research project conducted by author and past-life specialist Joanne DiMaggio, the answer is yes! Fifty volunteers, ranging in age from 34 to 74, participated in the project. They came in suffering from such chronic conditions as arthritis; diabetes; joint and limb pain; head trauma; weight and digestive troubles; sexual dysfunction; skin conditions; liver and kidney issues; drug and alcohol abuse; and mental illness. Employing past-life regression and augmenting the session with soul writing i.e., writing in an altered state of consciousness, the project sought to find the buried past-life story behind the present-day malady.Karma Can Be a Real Pain illustrates how ordinary men and women met their past-life aspects and discovered the karmic origin of their chronic condition, resulting

Uncovering the forgotten lineage of the Statue of Liberty, Bob Hieronimus and Laura Cortner explain how she is based on a female symbol representing America on the earliest maps of the continent in the form of a Native American Queen.

So an Old English scribe let us know that witches counseled the people to bring their offerings to earth-fast stone, and also to trees and to wellsprings. In this compelling exploration of language, archaeology, medieval literature and art, Max Dashu pulls the covers off of heritages known to few but scholarly specialists. She shows that old ethnic names for witch signify wise-woman, prophetess, diviner, healer, and dreamer. Scandinavian v lur ("staff-women") held oracular ceremonies with incantations, and "sitting-out on the land for wisdom. Archaeology shows that their ritual staffs symbolize the distaff, a spinning tool that connects with broad cultural themes of goddesses, fates, witches, and female power. This book plunges into the megalithic taproot of the elder kindreds, and traditions of the Cailleach. Drawing on Frankish and German ecclesiastical sources, it lays out the founding witch-legend of the Women Who Go by Night with the Goddess, the witch Holda, also known as Holle, Swanfoot Berthe an
