Reclaiming goddess sexuality

by Linda E. Savage

Publisher: Hay House Published: 1999 Category: Relationships & Love

Women's sexual empowerment has been profoundly shaped by centuries of cultural conditioning, religious doctrine, and societal expectations that have often disconnected the feminine from her deepest sources of pleasure, power, and spiritual connection. A revolutionary approach to reclaiming this lost heritage invites readers on a transformative journey to rediscover the sacred dimension of female sexuality and restore it to its rightful place as a pathway to wholeness, vitality, and divine connection.

This groundbreaking work draws from ancient goddess traditions, depth psychology, and contemporary sexology to create a comprehensive map for women seeking to heal sexual shame, awaken authentic desire, and embrace the full spectrum of their erotic nature. By weaving together mythology, therapeutic insights, and practical exercises, readers are guided through a process of sexual and spiritual reintegration that honors both the body and soul.

At the heart of this exploration lies the recognition that female sexuality has been systematically repressed, distorted, and pathologized throughout Western history. The witch burnings, the demonization of female pleasure, and the relegation of women to either virgin or whore archetypes have created deep wounds in the collective feminine psyche. These historical traumas continue to manifest in modern women as sexual dysfunction, shame, disconnection from their bodies, and an inability to experience the full ecstatic potential of their sexuality.
