THE GODDESS WHEEL: A Meditation Guide on Womans Sacred Cycles and Sexual MysteriesBy Karin E. Weiss, Ph.D.Although this book is full of colorful pictures, the written text is its main feature.The paintings in this picture book are rendered in a distinctly dilettante style, and the subject matter intrigueingly portrayed. The text is well written and thought-provoking. Weiss writes in a mix of fantasy, philosophy, and poetic prose to express profound wisdom in plain words. Her ideas are deceptively simple, for every sentence reveals deeper meanings about womens experiences of life, love, and longing. In the introduction, she writes:Feminine spirituality is about becoming Whole. It is about containing, connecting, uniting, and bonding. It is about affirming and celebrating all living things. It is about harmonizing and balancing the masculine and feminine principles in all our lives. The Mother-gods most important lesson is that Divinity exists in everything; that all life is sacred and erotic. . . . The feminine spiritual message is perpetually revealed by the turning of the seasons, and, above all, we see our own experience of transitions and changes mimed by the moons monthly orbit. Like the faces of the moon, womens own cycles, moods, and roles pantomime the ever-changing Essence of female sexual and spiritual power. The book derives from the authors extensive life-travels as a sex therapist, astrologer, gardener and breeder of pedigreed cats. Her love of animals shows through the paintings. Her empathy for human foibles and her sympathy for Natures caprice lends a sometimes shocking humor, combined with honest revelation, to her concept of Womans erotic spirit. Weiss offers a broad view of sexual-spiritual merging that encompasses shadow and light, serious and playful, foolish and wise. She is less sympathetic to the prevailing male-dominated culture, however, and a strong feminist bias shows through all of her work.Here
