The Sacred Feminine

Like all of T J Hegland books, this one is a dense, information-filled book of encyclopedic dimensions--but never boring. In this book, Hegland explores something that is sorely lacking in our world--the divine feminine. What is the history of womankind? Why is it important? Why has it been so overlooked--in fact denigrated by religions?What secrets does the feminine hold?We have his-story, now we get the Miss-story, or her story.What teachings did Mary Magdalene give or receive from Jesus?Hegland answers so many questions in this comprehensive book on something half of the population on earth needs to know. Women's lib just made us want the same things as men have, but is that what really serves us? The power of woman is in her nurturing(and men too), and the rearing of the next generation--yet we're told that this isn't nearly as important as going to work for someone else each day to bring home a check.I learned about women I'd barely heard of, and the knowledge and power they held. Did Jesus marry Mary Magdalene and have children with her? Some claim they did. Does Sang Real mean the fruit of the sacred union? Is this the real holy grail?Here's a sample of some of the chapters of this fact-filled book.Chapter 1--In the beginningChapter 2--Goddesses and MankindChapter 3--Mary Magdalene: PriestessChapter 4--Jesus & JohnChapter 5--Western ChronologyChapter 6--The Sacred FeminineChapter 7--Alchemy RevisitedChapter 8--Heretical ReligionsChapter 9--Activating the GoddessChapter 10--Mary Magdalene: Dragon Queen(Game of Thrones anyone?)This is just a sample of what's in this wonderful book of information about all things feminine. Just as an aside, Drama:Dragon Mother?

I truly loved this book. It was so eye opening and enlightening. It's an excellent read.

Not what I thought it would be!
