ENCOUNTERING THE SHADOWS: EMBRACED BY THE DARK GODDESS
Lilith Statue by Amber Zeta

The shadows have always been a source of mystery. Often, fear and terror rule the dark places, holding our imagination captive and sometimes paralyzing us with the horror of the unknown. The shadows hold the secret to our own rising rebirth, the secret of the wisdom of ourselves. The ultimate mystery is that of knowing oneself. This is the lesson the Dark Goddess teaches.

GODDESSES OF THE WORLD
by Karen Charboneau-Harrison

As religion, magick and art emerged together in our ancestor's lives, one common theme was focused upon - the power and majesty of the Great Goddess. One of her titles is The Goddess of One Thousand Names because people sought to understand and connect with this enormous life-giving power by naming Her in Her aspects, abilities and creative expression. All over the world, people gave Her different names in an attempt to comprehend and connect with specific aspects of the Goddess which had meaning to their lives. We can enrich our lives today by reading her myths and stories as we seek to make our own connection with the Great Mother.

The High Priestess (Universal Goddess Tarot Deck)  by Stephanie S. Sommers

HOW TO HOLD A GODDESS CONFERENCE IN SEVEN EASY STEPS
by Catherine Wishart

Got a problem that's been driving you nuts? Feel like you can't find a solution? Great! Take it to the council of goddesses and learn how they'd handle it.

Decide ahead of time when you'll hold your goddess conference. Get together what you'll need: a pen and paper, a candle, some relaxing music. Choose a time when you know you won't be disturbed and pencil it in on your calendar. My favorite times are at night about an hour before I'll go to sleep and first thing in the morning after I've had a shower and gotten dressed.

MAGICKAL ASTROLOGY FOR MAY
by INGRID JEFFRIES

The goddess of love and beauty, Venus, rules the month of May. She is the planetary ruler of Taurus and Gemini (esoterically). In an earlier age May was a time for the wedding negotiations that followed the fertility festival of Beltane. Wedding dowries were agreed upon for the nuptials that would take place during the summer months. Summer weddings were (and remain) most common because the longer hours of daylight and warmer weather north of the equator provided easier travel to those who were on foot or horseback.
