Seven Ages of the Goddess (edited by Trevor Greenfield) contains the collected voices and knowledge of a group of new and more established writers. Sourced from myth, folklore, fact, fairy tale and personal experience, it traces the hallowed history of the Sacred Feminine from the Stone Age to the present day and beyond. Divided, as the title suggests, into seven sections from ‘Ancient Goddess’ to ‘Tomorrow’s Goddess’ and containing subjects as diverse as the Stone Age Goddess, Lilith and Eve, the Eleusinian Mysteries, Mary Magdalene, Mother Goose, Gaia and Nature and the Goddess in the Machine among others, it also tells how She remained hidden within our culture and history, of Her eventual ‘rebirth’ in recent times and of the intersectional, nonbinary, and ever evolving nature of Her future aspects. This is one of those books you can sit down and read from cover to cover or simply pick and choose what draws you. Here you will find the Goddess in all Her pre-historic, Pagan, Christian, Techno-pagan and other forms. You will find much of interest, many ideas to question and a lot to think about. As it says in Jane Meredith’s excellent introduction, “The writings in this book can be an entry point, a confirmation, a provocation and a jumping off point for your own exploration”. Whether your relationship with Her is intellectual, emotional or spiritual, if you have ever wondered about the words ‘The Goddess’, their history or what they might mean to the world around you today, if you have just found Her or She has walked beside you all your life there is something and, perhaps, more than something in this book for you. ~ Martin Pallot, Indie Shaman magazine - Issue 38, October 2018

Travelling from the Stone Age right through to the possible future of goddess worship, Seven Ages of the Goddess brings together some really interesting goddesses and their histories. A veritable cornucopia of talented writers draw on personal experience, historical text, folklore and even dip into fairy tales to take the reader on a most wonderful journey. A fascinating read. ~ Rachel Patterson, author of Moon Magic, The Cailleach and Arc of the Goddess

Love this fresh and new approach to Goddess in one book, between two covers! I have over 1,000 books in my library, thus very discerning about what I buy, but THIS BOOK will garner a place on my shelves! ~ Rev. Dr. Karen Tate, author, scholar, social justice activist and hostess of Voices of the Sacred Feminine radio.

Seven Ages of the Goddess is a treasure-trove of new writing and thought about a very old subject indeed - a subject that continues to inspire extraordinary writing and other spiritual expression . From the Great Mother to the Goddess ex machina of the current age, this book thoroughly and beautifully expands our notions of the Female Divines. As our old world churns through the recalibration of patriarchal systems, this is a well-timed addition to any thinking person’s spiritual library. ~ H. Byron Ballard, author and senior priestess, Mother Grove Goddess Temple

Wherever you are in your exploration and experience of the goddess and what she means for you, Seven Ages of The Goddess provides a beautiful and thought provoking journey through Her ages offering a broad variety of perspectives and valuable insights. ~ Antonella Hall, Founder Member - Norfolk Goddess Temple. Priestess of Andraste, Priestess of The Goddess

This book is an essential introduction for those who are new to the idea of a female Godhead. We are currently living in a time of paradigm shift when the culture has begun to accept the idea of female equality and yet still seems mired in ambivalence about it. In the US only 20% of House and Senate members are women, despite the fact that women are just over half of the US population, and only 4.2% of Fortune 500 corporate CEOs are female. Women and men seem to be carrying an unconscious bias in favor of male leaders, which I suspect is ultimately due to the Biblical notion that divinity is male. Modern women carry a deep unconscious wound due to that philosophy, and men still assume privilege and superiority because of it. Even within these pages you can see the cultural ambivalence on display; "god" and "goddess" appear in some chapters while "God and "Goddess" appear in others. The Judeo-Christian-Islamic god is always "God", however. It is my hope that books like these will tip the balance so that the Divine Feminine can be appreciated, along with her male gendered partner. ~ Ellen Evert Hopman, author of A Legacy of Druids - Conversations with Druid Leaders from Britain, the USA and Canada
