A noted historian on pre-Christian societies provides an extensive worldwide listing of sites and sanctuaries associated with goddess worship. Explores goddess worship in cultures around the world, including Native American, Egyptian, Indian, and Oriental civilizations. Demonstrates that although her worship has sometimes been forced underground it has never disappeared.

In looking at the plethora of myths, sites, and sanctuaries devoted to this powerful figure, The Great Goddess provides abundant evidence of the extraordinary permanence of her worship--even at the heart of those religions that tried to destroy her.…
