Exploring the Divine Feminine

For most of us, when we think of the Divine Feminine, we think of the age of the Goddess, when “she” and women were honored, worshipped and given tribute. Others might think of the Divine Feminine as an energy: strong, loving, nurturing, etc. We might focus on an appreciation for the gifts of womanhood, the ability to grow a life, woman’s strong intuition and her love.

Through her novels and historical writings, Kathleen McGowan re-awakens The Divine Feminine in us and makes it part of our spiritual path. She recaptures and reclaims that aspect of our true inner beings that has lain dormant or been forgotten, by telling us the stories of the women in history who lived and sometimes literally carried the banner of this divinity. The lives of these women have either been erased, covered up, lied about and/or painted as heretics.  Kathleen shows us the oftentimes unknown side of these figures through in-depth historical research, visits to the lands which these figures inhabited, and reviewing the legends they have inspired.
