As the millenium approaches, we are drawn to modern Goddess spirituality. By sharing our personal spiritual experiences with each other, Rae Beth feels the world will change. She goes within for this book of recollections, inner guidance, and ancient teachings. She explains individual reincarnation as a microcosm of Earth's great cycles of existence, as a means of developing the love and wisdom needed to manifest the true beauty of the spirit realm. Along with structions for recalling past lives and developing psychic skills, she gives descriptions of the Otherworld (where we go between lives) as the land of the Dark Goddess--the Queen of the Dead. This is not a fearsome place, but a joyful spirit land where healing flows, whether we approach it from its peripheries in deams, meditation, or between incarnations. Rae Beth also includes thoughtful interpretations of various myths of the Goddess in her many aspect--sIsis, Kali, Mary Magdalene, Persephone, and Tiamet--to name a few. This book looks at reincarnation from the viewpoint of a presentday priestess who honors the Deep Feminine, of the Goddess, as Mother of Souls, as the Earth Mother of physical existence. This sharing vision is relevant to us all, in our process of discovery and rebirth.

Rae Beth offers a compelling, introspective journey into the Dark Goddess and the Earth itself, making it a valuable resource for devotees of the divine feminine. Her rich interpretations of myths surrounding Isis and Kali provide a solid foundation for understanding the Deep Feminine as the Mother of Souls. However, readers seeking rigid dogma, historical academic rigor, or structured ritual manuals may find this memoir-style approach too subjective. It is best suited for those open to personal inner wisdom and mystical visions rather than objective analysis. The focus on joyous healing realms might not appeal to those preferring darker, more austere theological frameworks.
