READ THIS BOOK!!!

I love this book and the feelings that I felt while reading this book were wonderful! It was as though a wall crashed though the very core of my being, and for the first time in my life I was seeing the truth for what I really was.

Compare conventional and ancient feminine archetypes.

Song of Eve compares conventional theological beliefs about the position of women in society to ancient stories involving early feminine archetypes.This book is a beautifully illustrated look at traditional religious art, mythological symbols and a reflective study of the Goddess.What makes these divine pictures and images even more breathtaking and achingly beautiful is the contrasting stories of repression of the feminine, and the misinterpretation and censorship that their beauty camouflages.The Song of Eve is an example of how our thinking has been distorted throughout history. Even the story of Eve is an example of "a patriarchal inversion of the myth of the hero-god born from the Goddess Earth, which had pre-existed Christianity."Eve can be a powerful archetype for women.We can enlighten our thinking and change our ways of looking at her by re-examining the gift of knowledge she gave us.We can can stop thinking that we, as women, have inherited the sin of all sin
