Synopsis

Myths about powerful goddesses have existed since the beginning of time. They roam in the kingdom of death and at the edge of the cosmos. They have power over death, are the sources of life and they can change the turn of time. What you never must do is to agitate her: for she has the power to start a storm, turn off the sun or dry out the earth if she become angry.

In this book, you will learn about 40 of the most intriguing ones, divided into the categories: Earth, Fire, Water, Air, War and Death. And spanning a wide number of geographies.

Read about: Nu Gua from China, Baba Yaga from Russia, Amarerasu from Japan, Aloja from Catalonia, Mabba Mwana Waresa from South Africa, Nut from Egypt, Kali from India, Loviatar from Finland and of course some of the more widely known Greek and Nordic goddesses, like Persephone and Freya.
