Through thought-provoking analysis of modern society's conditioning of women, descriptions of sacred ritual practices, and teachings on the Goddess traditions, this book empowers contemporary women with the means to walk the time-honored path of priestess - a caretaker of the psychic, energetic and emotional aspects of life. The author draws on alchemy, Kabbala and the Gnostics, as well as her years of experience with the ancient arts of tantra, Dzogchen, and Indian and Egyptian temple dance and healing.
