This is the first book to focus exclusively on myths and fairy tales illustrating the archetype of the Serpent Goddess from cultures throughout the world, and from the dawn of humans to the present day. The serpent has been the sacred symbol of the Great Goddess since prehistoric times and is associated with renewal, fertility and prosperity. Like the Goddess, however, the serpent has become associated solely with evil. "Goddess in the Grass" examines the symbolic meanings of the Serpent Goddess, revealing her origins as the life-giving, death-dealing Great Goddess. Includes a dictionary of over 100 forms of the Serpent Goddess, from Asia, Africa, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania. A wonderful supplement to any course in Mythology or Women's Studies, and a captivating read for anyone with an interest in the history of belief systems.
