Restoring the Goddess

More about the book

The book presents a poetic reinterpretation of the Genesis myth, depicting the Womb as a primordial source of potential and life. It critiques patriarchal religion while proposing a new spiritual framework centered on "thealogy," which emphasizes the knowledge of the goddess and acknowledges women's essential societal roles. Walker advocates for a return to the worship of a mother goddess, celebrating Earth's fertility and women's power. This work aims to redefine modern spirituality, aligning it with women's rights and rejecting the male-dominated religious narratives.
