It is an epic co-creative effort by powerful voices in the Womens Spirituality movement the Inter-Spirituality movement the Transcendental Art movement and the Ecological movement.The mission of the book is to not only document a genre of art referred to as Feminine Mysticism or Goddess Art but also to reveal powerful images of the Divine in his and her myriad of forms. The ultimate mission of the book is to assist humanity in evolving our conceptualization of the Divine transcending out of antagonistic dualistic and hierarchical gender associations and into a new mode of consciousness that is more inclusive of all of Gods creation. In order for this to occur however it is essential that the sacred feminine be firmly rooted in human consciousness. Since the masculine side of God has been so heavily portrayed in Western culture a large number of people are yearning for images of the Goddess in order to provide alternatives to the conventional dominance of men in religion and society. In contrast the Goddesses show us that the female can also be symbolic of all the is creative and powerful in the universe as well as provide us with an orientation that can help us save the planet from ecological destruction.Although the reign of matriarchal societies is long gone the time of union between the masculine and feminine principles are close at hand. The Goddess is revealing herself to the human psyche in an assortment of ways from the arts to the sciences. Her re-emergence is crucial to our societys shift into a new paradigm a symbiotic union between the masculine and feminine aspects within the human psyche society and the world of spirit. However before this shift in consciousness can occur the awakening of the Divine Mother needs to occur on a worldwide level which is why is crucial to get as many images of HER as possible into the publics view at this time.See books website: www.mysticspiritart.com
