In 1948 Robert Graves published The White Goddess. His study of
poetic mysticism and goddess worship has since become a founding
text of Western paganism. As Wicca emerged from what Graves called,
a few hopeful young people in California, to over two million
strong, The White Goddess has achieved near liturgical status. This
rising appreciation brings all the problems of liturgical texts.
Many pagans consider Graves' work like the goddess herself; awe
inspiring but impenetrable. Stalking The Goddess is the first
extensive examination of this enigmatic text to come from the pagan
community and guides readers through bewildering forests of
historical sources, poems, and Graves' biography to reveal his
unorthodox claims and entrancing creative process. Relentlessly
perusing each path it explores the uncharted woods and reveals the
hidden signposts Graves has posted. The hunt for the goddess spans
battlefields, ancient manuscripts, the British museum, and
Stonehenge. En route we encounter not only the goddess herself but
her three sacred animals; dog, roebuck, and lapwing. Perhaps the
muse cannot be captured on her own grounds, but now at least there
is a map.
