Pagan Meditations

This book is Ginette Paris’s contribution to “imaginative” feminism:


Am I a feminist? Yes, for sure, and this book is my contribution to imaginative feminism. Each goddess is an inspiration for a different feminism, and collectively they teach us about the polytheistic complexity we need to get out of the twentieth century: more complexity and fewer complexes . . . As a social psychologist, I see archetypal psychology as the best way to prevent dogmatism and ideological violence. It addresses both the meditative interior of each person and the community of culture. From both these domains, the “pagan” goddesses — especially Aphrodite, Artemis, and Hestia — have been excluded for almost two thousand years.
