"...understand that, contrary to all we have been led to believe, female divinity has been continuously present. In kinship with Wisdom there is immortality, and in friendship with her pure delight."

In a Chariot Drawn by Lions
seeks out the hidden and
overlooked Female Divine, demonstrating how the female aspect of God has been
suppressed and distorted through the ages.
Asphodel Long has spent over 20 years researching the female aspect of God. She shows how the wisdom of ancient goddesses has meaning for our lives today. This is a book particularly relevant to understanding the earth's ecology: the importance of feminist input is clearly stated. Long explores relationships between women and men and women and the world as they relate to divine female wisdom.
"Rich are the resources here of myth, religion, and history, as Asphodel Long's fine and meticulously documented study show."
-THE LONDON TIMES

This beautiful volume is a tribute to the human hand: hand-set, hand-printed hand-stitched, pasted and bound, gold-embossed and covered with handloom sari cloth in India.
"She has the facility to use incredibly simple language to say the most profoundly sacred things, and in the so-doing she asks us to re-examine our relationship with the ordinary and to re-sacralise it."
