The Search for the Divine Mother

This book looks at our religion and spirituality from a historical viewpoint. Many traditions attach great importance to the feminine dimension of the Divine. It is She who is said to give liberation, spiritual rebirth, that is to say Union with the Self. The most significant example is the knowledge of the Kundalini in India. We may wonder why the Western religions have attributed an exclusively masculine, patriarchal character to the Divine. Several thousand years ago, was not the only form of Divinity, the object of veneration, feminine and maternal? What is responsible for this neglect, this confiscation? Has the original message of these religions been distorted to the point that we are today unaware of the Mother-Goddess? And could the age of Aquarius, which is said to mark a change of consciousness on a spiritual level, perhaps be the moment where humanity is able to rediscover this awareness of the Universal Mother? This book offers answers to these topical questions.
