Description
The Goddess is returning!
She takes shape in the hands of an Episcopal priests shy, retiring wife. She invades the dreams of a grande dame who thinks women priests are a scandal. She lures a poker-playing ex-convict onto unfamiliar terrain, literally. Then there is the mysterious old man in the wood, whos been watching, waiting for a sign of her return.
Whoisthe Goddess? Where has she been for so long? What does she want from the four human beings whose lives she is turning upside down and inside out?
As they confront these questions, Esther, Spencer, Marvin and Fergus find themselves drawn together, forging friendships across boundaries of age, class and race, discoveringand recoveringpowerful, erotic passions. All their encounters, with themselves and each other, lead them deeper into Blackwood, an old estate that shelters an imperiled grove of trees sacred to the Goddess, a grove it becomes their mission to save.
The Return of the Goddess, A Divine Comedymarks Cunninghams first explicit exploration of Christianity and the power of a divine feminine, long forgotten, obscured, and suppressed by the Church. She went on to write The Maeve Chronicles, featuring her iconic, outspoken Celtic Magdalen.The Return of the Goddesstakes the reader inside the world of Cunninghams origins where a gap in a wall leads from the church to the sacred grove.
Twenty-six years after its first publicationThe Return of the Goddess, A Divine Comedyremains a classic in what has become a movement, both within established religions and beyond, to reclaim the goddess and to embody her return.
