Ancient Goddess Magic: Invoking the Queens of the Heavens by Vanessa Lavallée

Vanessa Lavallée explores goddess beliefs and myths from Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt and the Mediterranean, presenting goddesses as Queens of the Heavens and Guardians of the Underworld rather than fertility symbols.

She looks at creator, sun, lunar, warrior maiden and night goddesses such as Hathor, Inanna, Hekate, Athena and Astarte, and includes modern adaptations of goddess rituals and instructions for making amulets and figurines.
