Description

"Odyssey with the Goddess depicts a spiritual journey from death and despair to healing and rebirth. At its deepest level, it is a story with universal resonance. But it is also a woman's story and a spiritual quest from a particular point of view. It begins with a very simple experience of despair - abandonment in a love relationship. What follows is a journey not willingly or consciously chosen. The author is present as her mother dies and glimpses the mystery of love. She is taken to Crete, a land where the Goddess once reigned in peace and harmony. There she descends into the darkness of a cave, finds the tree of life in the center of a garden, and dances to the strange rhythms of mountain goat songs. Eventually she comes to understand that life is not a goal to be achieved by effort and will. It is a dance along a serpentine path offering many gifts at every turn."--BOOK JACKET.
