However, archaeological, prehistoric, and early historical evidence indicates that goddesses were once widely venerated as supreme deities, and in some modern cultures this reverence persists today. While goddesses are well-known parts of Greek and Egyptian mythology, female divine figures also appear in the Abrahamic religions, despite their predominately male-centered ideological structures. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book examines the extensive traditions of legend, mythology, folklore, and religious worship related to goddesses across various regions and cultures, from ancient history to the present day. Organized by geography and cultural association, it diverges from conventional studies of religion and mythology by focusing solely on female divinity. The work addresses the gender imbalances in sacred narratives by bringing the role of goddesses to the foreground in both historical and contemporary contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/flcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11392958\"\u003eYowann Byghan\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/11\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476699813\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 147669981X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/flcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-OCC\"\u003eMind, Body, Spirit\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/flcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-OCC036050\"\u003eGoddess Worship\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/flcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/flcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC011000\"\u003eFolklore \u0026amp; Mythology\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/flcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/flcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eYowann Byghan\u003c\/b\u003e is an author, poet, playwright and a practicing Druid for 50+ years.
