Book Review: A wonderful journey to the Goddess and her daughters
Summary: 5 Stars
In this time of the renaissance of the divine femine, Linda Johnsen has written a wonderful book that reveals the beautiful and ancient tradition of Goddess energy and women saints in India, and introduces the reader to contemporary women who embody the many aspects of the Goddess, as incarnations of her, and who are alive and active today. Her accounts of living, traveling with, and encountering these remarkable women, are fascinating glimpses into the wisdom and transformative energy that they embody and share with many around the world. She writes as an observer, a scholar, and a devotee, and does so with respect, fascination, reverence and chronicles her own transformation in her meetings with these living women saints. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and daily life of the avatars living amongst us, and the strong Goddess tradition of their homeland and heritage. It is a unique and heartening book which contains humor, storytelling, history, wisdom, and written from a perspective that only a women could do in her study of the mysteries and beauty of the Goddess and her daughters, in all her aspects. Read this book and let the women that she encounterd grace you with their presence as well, through their photos, words, and energy, for the Goddess lives through them, and in this book you can become acquainted with them, as the author did. I appreciate this book immensely, for it is a wonderful forum and introduction to the women who are incarnations of the Goddess, and who are revealed in a personal way so well by the author.
