About this listen
Joseph Campbell brought mythology to a mass audience. His bestselling books, including The Power of Myth and The Hero with a Thousand Faces, are the rare blockbusters that are also scholarly classics.
While Campbell’s work reached wide and deep as he covered the world’s great mythological traditions, he never wrote a book on goddesses in world mythology. He did, however, have much to say on the subject. Between 1972 and 1986 he gave over twenty lectures and workshops on goddesses, exploring the figures, functions, symbols, and themes of the feminine divine, following them through their transformations across cultures and epochs.
In this provocative volume, editor Safron Rossi - a goddess studies scholar, professor of mythology, and curator of collections at Opus Archives, which holds the Joseph Campbell archival manuscript collection and personal library - collects these lectures for the first time. In them, Campbell traces the evolution of the feminine divine from one Great Goddess to many, from Neolithic Old Europe to the Renaissance. He sheds new light on classical motifs and reveals how the feminine divine symbolizes the archetypal energies of transformation, initiation, and inspiration.

Amusing, inspiring and enlightening
This book is a must read after Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a thousand faces. To the hero journey, it adds the goddess's journey through history. It's really enlightening about the place woman had in cultures and mythologies, and how the balance of "Androgyny" has been.

Amazing but should have been a woman narrating
The narrator is very good, but it would have added a whole different feel of depth if they’d gotten a woman narrating, as it’s about goddesses. I can’t quite grasp why they didn’t get a talented woman to narrate. That being said, Joseph Campbell is incredible and I feel very blessed to have come across his work.
