In ancient times, people's experience of the divine was imbued with
the feminine archetype. The world of spirit was seen to be
populated by goddesses, and women were honoured as priestesses and
guardians of sacred rites. The later Greek and Roman civilizations,
in contrast, were characterized by the principle of patriarchy,
which still dominates our culture - despite the political and
social emancipation of women in the West. This unique study of the
feminine archetype throws new light on the spiritual significance
and meaning of the feminine principle today, as well as its task
and destiny in the future. Beginning with Eve in tradition and
legend, the authors provide insightful commentaries on the Queen of
Sheba, the image of the Virgin in esoteric Christianity,
Isis-Sophia and the Great Mother, the birth of art from the primal
source of the feminine, and the importance of women in modern
esotericism. Through a study of the esoteric background to human
and earth evolution, Sease and Schmidt-Brabant arrive at clear and
accessible perspectives that could transform human life, and in
particular family culture, in our time.
