Abstract

'Journey Towards the Goddess' is a personal narrative tracing the writer's path from the space left by a Christian faith that has become irrelevant, through a series of earth-based, feminine-orientated experiences and brief spiritual encounters with non-human life forms and with the non-physical world, towards an openness to the divine feminine in its pre-Christian and post-Christian guises. Citing Quaker sources (the author is a convinced and practising Quaker) as well as Starhawk, the anthropologist Felicitas Goodman and feminist theologians such as Mary Condren and Beverly Wildung Harrison, she arrives at a conviction that goddess theology is not only valid but may be an essential component of a morally responsible spiritual outlook in the twenty-first century. The author is a poet and fic tion writer, and has also written two books that offer the non-judgmental life narrative as a way of spiritual understanding.
