About the book >.>.> Eclipse of the Sun is a unique compendium focusing on Sun-goddesses and Moon-gods, marking it as the first sourcebook to explore this often-overlooked dimension of mythology. Drawing from years of meticulous research, the book reveals how the interpretation and information surrounding ancient mythology have often been distorted and misrepresented.In contesting the prevalent notion that the sun is predominantly a male deity, the author presents an extensive array of myths, symbols, and folklore from cultures across the globe. This work highlights that Sun-goddesses are not merely atypical figures but integral to a rich feminine solar tradition that has been systematically obscured?both by patriarchal scholars and by the feminist spirituality movement. Through its exploration, Eclipse of the Sun probes deep into our collective understanding of mythology, raising profound questions about accepted beliefs that shape various aspects of contemporary life.Janet McCrickard, born in 1952 in Gainford, Teesdale, holds a BSc Honours degree from Bristol University and has experience as a teacher. She was actively involved in the Feminist Spirituality Movement for twelve years while residing in Glastonbury. McCrickard has also contributed articles and monographs covering topics in mythology, folklore, folk music, and local history.
