Faces of the sacred feminine

For more than two millennia, influenced by the legacy of Greco-Latin thought, then by Christianity as it adapted to the Roman Empire, we have forgotten the figure of the Goddesses in favor of an omnipotent Father. But it wasn't always so... And even within our traditional civilization, it's easy to see how the Feminine, collectively "repressed", has often tried to make a comeback, often in unexpected ways... Or how, on numerous occasions, homage has been paid to what I would call a "feminine of God", that is, a manifestation, in the guise of the Feminine, of that "divine or transcendence which founds us and, at the same time, surpasses us on all sides". These are the figures whose memory the author resurrects here. He has taken an interest in the ancient Great Goddess of the Celts, in the figure of the Divine Mother in India and in the femininity of "God", whether in the "divine" Sophia of the Orthodox, in the Artemis of Ephesus or in Isis the Egyptian, whether in Dante's Beatrice or in this "Eternal Feminine". So many discoveries! And how we realize that, in an age when the Feminine demands recognition of all its rights, it is in tune with everything we carry most deeply "buried" within us!
