INQ-270 | Search for the Goddess

Full Title: In Search of the Goddess

Topic Description:

This course explores Goddess religions and notions of the sacred feminine from prehistory to the “pagan” Near East and Mediterranean, Western monotheistic religions, pluralistic religions of Asia, and, limitedly, revivals of Goddess spirituality in contemporary Europe/N. America. We will address the question of the fate of goddess traditions worldwide not just as sacred texts, ideologies and religious traditions, but as active and living ritual and social cultures.
