Drawing from traditional tales and sacred texts worldwide, Burleigh Muten introduces a cast of brave and powerful goddesses, who struggle with their own unique set of challenges as they strive to assert their independence and authority. The stories of White Buffalo Woman, Cerridwen, Isis, Kuan Yin and more grace the pages of this sublime collection, each expressively portrayed through Helen Cann's rich watercolor and collage illustrations. This is an experience to share and to treasure.

The Lady of Ten Thousand Names: Goddess Stories from Many Cultures
Which shelf do I use for this book? Is this religion? Ancient history? Folklore? Short stories? (I don't have a shelf for Mythology.)
As a child, I only remember hearing fairy tales. I wonder what I would have thought of these stories.
Egypt: Isis (the Earth was hers to protect and nourish)
China: Kuan Yin (embodies kindness, mercy, grace)
N America - Lakota Sioux: White Buffalo Woman
... (taught that Earth is the mother of all)
Wales: Gerridwen
... (fertility, birth & death; blesses poets & musicians)
Scandinavia: Freya
... (love, desire, sorcery, magic, war death)
Japan: Ama-terasu
... (ruler of the six directions & mother of all)
Nigeria - Yoruba: Oshun
... (protectress who rules over love & beauty)
Greece: Triple Goddess - Persephone, Demeter, Hekate
... (rules over the seasons, the cycle of Earth)
Surprising to me: Many of these Goddesses seem overly fond of appearance and fine things (clothes, jewelry)
The Foreword should also be read at the end.
