Free Excerpt From The Book (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader) Is Goddess a Being? A metaphor? A process? The second edition of this exciting and innovative book clarifies these and other concepts guiding contemporary Goddess spirituality. It also delves into the history of Jewish Kabbalah and Western Esoteric Qabalah, exposing their biases and proposing a more gender-balanced version that links back to the Goddess Tree of Life. This book also explores the similarities between Goddess concepts and quantum physics and cosmology. With meditations and rituals to help put theory into practice.The Second Enlarged Edition of Goddess Spirituality for the 21st Century contains the entire first edition plus a new Foreword, a new Preface, expanded discussion of a few subjects, music notation for songs in the rituals, tarot spreads using symbolism from the re-visioned Tree of Life, and a discussion guide. From the Foreword by Rachel Pollack: "This remarkable book manages to say more than many works on these subjects four or five times its size. What's more, what it says is not just clear and lucid, and stocked with information, it also is valuable for women and men living their lives today....Goddess Spirituality for the 21st Century is a rare book, a kind of sacred quest of ideas. We can all give thanks that Judith Laura has undertaken it, and fulfilled it with such dedication." From reviewers and readers: "Intellectually exciting and spiritually satisfying, this new classic is highly recommended." -The Beltane Papers "For those of you who, like me, enjoy exploring the overlap between science and magic, this book will be a big hit.... The restructuring [of the Kabbalah Tree] makes sense-the author spells out her conclusions quite clearly...." -Elizabeth Barrette, Moonlight and Magick! "Her instructions for meditation and chant are at once inclusive, flexible and practical. Both the merely curious and long-time practitioners of goddess spirituality have much to learn from Laura's work." -Liisa Hake, FEMSPEC "Her vision of the ancient traditions of Kabbalah are guided by a deep knowledge of its ancient ways; yet, she begins to explore in this book a new path, a new way out of the male-centric vision that has guided and shaped the Kabbalistic traditions for all too long....Her vision is guided…by an egalitarian view of both life and the mysteries of existence." -Craig Hickman, Wisdom of the Earth "…a wonderful book that clarifies a once complex subject.." -The Sacred Green
