One Man's Search for the Goddess
THE DA VINCI CODE tapped a deep fascination for the sacred feminine
hidden at the heart of Christianity. Best-selling author Tim Ward digs
deeper into this mystery, propelling the reader into the pre-Christian
Goddess religions of the Mediterranean. Ward confronts tough questions
* Are men threatened by the innate power of the feminine? * Why do men
abuse, rape, and dominate women? Shouldnt loving relationships with
the opposite sex be natural and easy? * Did we all lose an essential
part of ourselves when we turned our back on the feminine divine? *
How would opening to the feminine face of God help men resolve their
issues with women? * What would it take for men to really let go of
patriarchy and genuinely accept women as equals?To answer these
questions, Ward decided to seek out the Goddess, with his own demons
in tow. Over a period of three years he travelled to the ruined
temples and shrines of the Goddess in the cradles of Western
Civilization. At each he encountered one aspect of the many faces of
the Goddess. He vividly recreates the experience of ancient believers
the Eleusinian Mysteries of Demeter, the sexual rites of the
priestesses of Aphrodite, and a human sacrifice on a mountaintop
shrine in Crete. And in Turkey he sits at the feet of the
many-breasted Artemis of Ephesus, whose rioting followers once
threatened to kill the Apostle Paul. Facing the Goddess unleashes
turbulent emotions for Ward. With frank honesty he describes the
traumas that erupt in his relationship with the woman he loves, who
accompanied him on many of his journeys.
