Joseph Campbell is one of the best authorities on mythology and early religion. This book has gathered together a lot of his speeches and writings on the Goddess, and he discovered the threads of the innate religion that was in various parts of the world thousands of years ago - a worship of the Mother Goddess. This tome threads together the rituals, the histories and shows how ancient civilizations worshipped the same gods and the same Goddess just by different names. What I found most fascinating is how he expertly shows that the Christian religion is another product of the ancient myths given new form and may be connected to the mysteries of ancient Eleusis. I’d never heard of this theory but the threads he has woven together makes it perfectly reasonable and logical. I adored this book!
