Since the beginnings of human civilization, peoples around the globe have believed in, worshiped, and sought guidance from female deities. Most ancient of all were mother-goddesses, like Egypt's Isis and Greece's Gaia, but no less respected were goddesses who oversaw various aspects of nature, as well as love, marriage, and even the underworld. This volume explores more than two dozen such goddesses from past societies worldwide.
