This slim paperback, it turns out, is really a treasure! I picked up "Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On", which is a biography of Luke, that I neglected to finish before it was due again. I didn't make the connection of the author until I started to read this one. In this book, she wove together symbilogies from myth and spiritual texts in ways that I had not seen before. From the examples she put forth, I can see the challenges we face in our modern society by not moving forward with our spiritual development. I slogged through Chapter 1,[The Life of the Spirit in Women], but it was in Chapter 2,[Goddess of the Dawn], where it started to "dawn" on me how timely this book is! I'm trying to refrain from using highlighters on my books, [and mark with sticky tabs], but this book is a keeper! ( )
