Beskrivelse
Celebrating Seasons of the Goddess restores the original vision of celebrating cultural and natural landmarks from the perspective of Goddess feminist activism. By taking such categories as time, seasons, nature and the female divine as a point of departure, this book brings modern minds out of patriarchal holiday conventions and invites the reader to join the sobering chorus, led by our 35 authors-writers, researchers, poets, artists, ritualists, photographers and activists from around the world. At an individual level, this book presents a wide range of thealogical expressions in 88 chapters that are self-transcending and metamorphic. Its Goddess Spirituality, which may be called Engaged Goddess Spirituality, is characterized by the impetus to derail the cultural and spiritual paradigm of patriarchal religions. In other words, this book, fueled by the commitment to feminist social change, undertakes the task of undercutting the main nerve of patriarchal advancements that peril the terrestrial community at an ever-magnifying scale. However, Celebrating Seasons of the Goddess does not stop there. Summoning the time/space of the Primordial Mother, HERE/NOW, it re-channels seemingly isolated spiritual practices of the world to the consciousness of WE in S/HE. In short, it is a multi-faceted practical book that accompanies one's process of awakening and commitment to Engaged Goddess Spirituality.This book aims at the following: Discovering and owning Nature's female rhythmsPersonalizing cosmic timeRiding Earth's seasonsCountering foreground patriarchal propagandasPoliticizing female experiences as salvificCommemorating Goddesses and gynocentric culturesBefriending non-human members of the terrestrial communitySupporting Indigenous strugglesExploring nature-based lifestylesEngaging spirituality with feminist activismAwakening the deep memory of WECultivating the primordial consciousness of the CreatrixSection titles are: Section One: Time, Nature and the GoddessSection Two: The Chorus in Poetry, Art and RitualSection Three: The Wheel of SeasonsSection Four: A New Beginning, Winter SolsticeSections One, Three, and Four follow thematic categories, while Section Two is a collection of such genres as poetry, prose, art, and photography, which therefore stands as an autonomous booklet that contains the themes of the other three sections.
