In addition to the literature, the Goddess has her own line of jewelry, available from Star River Productions. A cursory survey of one university’s on-line library catalog yields no fewer than forty-five books about or promoting current goddess-religion, all written within the last ten years. Whether one believes matrifocal religion has recently been revived after millennia of disregard or that it has recently been created, it cannot be denied that the Goddess’s popularity is rapidly expanding. The “Goddess” is back, her supporters say. Spaeth (hereafter S.) has her work cut out for her. This movement views ancient feminine deities as the prototypes for modern, independent, liberated women. Barbette Stanley Spaeth has taken on the laudable task of correcting the distorted view of ancient goddesses frequently found in recent books about the current feminist pagan movement.
