In The Footsteps of the Goddess
Edited and illustrated by Cristina Biaggi
Forward by Starhawk

"Cristina Biaggi has gathered together an extraordinary circle of women (and some men) and allowed us to eavesdrop as they recount their poetic, illuminating and deeply moving stories of meeting the Goddess. One of the best things about this book is the variety of people and experiences. The goddesses encountered come from every corner of the world and from a multitude of religious traditions; the writers include the famous and the less well known. Some accounts, like Sandra Barnhouse's tale of meeting the Goddess in a field of corn, took my breath away. What a treat to have at your bedside. There are passages here you will want to read aloud to your closest friends." - Margot Adler, author, Drawing Down the Moon and Heretic's Heart

In this new compilation from KIT, these women - and some men - talk eloquently about how the Sacred Female has influenced their lives. Here are the stories of individual quests that have led people to change their careers, travel to remote corners of the planet in search of answers and inspiration, and find the courage to challenge themselves physically, mentally and spirituality.

Beautiful drawings by Dr. Biaggi accompany these inspiring stories to illustrate how the ideals of ancient spiritual practices are reinvigorating our lives. This book, in itself a powerful mix of verbal and artistic inspiration, is a first in its field of spirituality.

Talking openly here about their experiences - sometimes with devout teachers, sometimes through visions, sometimes through the written words of others - practitioners from all over the world share their stories. Their potent words are a comfort and inspiration to those seeking new spiritual paths as the new millennium unfolds. Author's web site

Habitations of the Great Goddess
By Cristina Biaggi, Forward by Marija Gimbutas

In addition to her ongoing technical debate with the theories of other scholars in the field, we feel the sanctity of these places in her midnight visit to the temple of Malta and the playful humanity of her romp with the seals during her explorations of the Islands of Scotland.

Her reflections about the lives and destinies of these talented and devoted builders leads us to see them in a new light also. We recognize them as our ancestors, puzzling about the workings of the universe - as we are doing now.

Highly respected by her peers in the world of archaeology and prehistory, Dr. Biaggi has widened horizons for all of us in this totally documented and lovingly presented work.
