Goddess / Divine Feminine in Judaism
The Hebrew Goddess by Raphael Patai is one of the best books on the feminine in the Hebrew Divinity. It is scholarly, yet readable. For those looking to get a more balanced view of deity, and not just see an old man on a throne –this book is a must.
She Who Dwells Within by Lynn Gotleib
- If you are familiarly with the scholarly background of the Divine Feminine, then it’s time to move on to something experiential. This book is full of ritual and personal approach to exploring the Divine Feminine in Judaism.
When God Was a Woman by Merlin Stone is a very popular book about ancient goddess based religions. It’s not one I’ve read myself, but others have told me it is quite good.
Shekinah by Leonard Nimoy — This is really an extraordinary book. It hits a nerve with a lot of people, because it is a visual exploration of the Divine Feminine. I was deeply moved by many of the images in the book, as were many of my Pagan friends. I also have to say it gives me great pride, since he is a cousin — although we’ve never met. Good to know I come by this honestly!
