The Sacred Feminine Through The Ages

This is an exploration of feminine spirituality from the beginning of time to the present day.

Paula Marvelly has selected powerful and evocative words of wisdom from women of widely differing ages and faiths, including but not limited to Jewish, Christian, Sufi, Hindu, Buddhist or Taoist. The author reveals the common and overriding theme between them, which can be expressed as “non-duality” – not two but one. This is the experience of losing one’s individuality and of becoming one with the universe.

• Uncover the cosmic life force with polymath Hildegard of Bingen
• Dwell on the revelations of divine love with anchoress Julian of Norwich, and so much more…
