Download or read book The Hebrew Priestess written by Jill Hammer and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been barely 40 years since rabbinical seminaries began ordaining women as rabbis. But women have played a role in Jewish religious leadership from the days of the Bible and even before. Miriam the Prophetess and Deborah the Judge are just the two most prominent of these women, most of whose names are lost to history. The Hebrew Priestess tells the stories of these women, often reading between the lines of the Bible and Talmud to rediscover the women that rabbinic editors tried to erase. The authors bring a unique vantage point: They are founders of the Kohenet Institute, which trains Jewish women as religious leaders - as Hebrew priestesses. They believe the spiritual gifts of Jewish women cannot be incorporated into Judaism unless women explore the Divine through their own lens. The Kohenet Institute offers an embodied, ecstatic earth-based approach to Jewish spiritual practice and leadership. The Hebrew Priestess weaves together a careful examination of historical antecedents of these new priestesses, along with the personal experiences of women who embarked on this new path of Jewish priestesshood. The Hebrew Priestess delineates 13 models of spiritual leadership - among them prophetess, weaver, drummer, shrinekeeper, midwife, mother, maiden, witch, and fool - and shows how each model was manifest in ancient times, its continuation through Jewish history, and how women in our day are following that path. Finally, it shows how you can incorporate part of that path into your own life. Ambitious, erudite, practical, and deeply personal, the Hebrew Priestsess offers a deep connection to Jewish history and to profound holy experiences today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dare to perilously entangle yourself inside Berengeres provocative vision of the nature and foundation of political values. He intoxicates. We are in the presence of a red comet in a smog-filled sky. His two formations of books disturb. They attack the readers prejudices. They are very learned. Each book establishes him as brave and original. Each essay in each book is swift, strenuous, and seductive. Each sentence jabs. Berengere alleges that he makes more eye-captivating claims in one spree of pages than most academics dare in a lifetime, and reasonable minds could easily conclude that he is not entirely wrong.

Download or read book The Priestess the Pen written by Sonja Sadovsky and published by Llewellyn Worldwide. This book was released on 2014-12-08 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important book by debut author Sonja Sadovsky shines new light on how three captivating minds shaped the course of history. The fantasy novels of Dion Fortune, Marion Zimmer Bradley, and Diana L. Paxson influenced the image of the priestess in Neopagan and Goddess-centered spirituality throughout the world. The Priestess & the Pen shows how their work changed the way women are depicted in literature, created space for women to reclaim their power, and energized the women's equality movement. Presenting a reinterpretation of the Goddess as fourfold rather than threefold, The Priestess & the Pen adds dimension and relevance to the traditional Triple Goddess archetype in a way that has never before been considered with such compelling clarity. This book is poised to become a vital interpretation of the Pagan priestess.
Download or read book Portrait of a Priestess written by Joan Breton Connelly and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-08 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this sumptuously illustrated book, Joan Breton Connelly gives us the first comprehensive cultural history of priestesses in the ancient Greek world. Connelly presents the fullest and most vivid picture yet of how priestesses lived and worked, from the most famous and sacred of them--the Delphic Oracle and the priestess of Athena Polias--to basket bearers and handmaidens. Along the way, she challenges long-held beliefs to show that priestesses played far more significant public roles in ancient Greece than previously acknowledged. Connelly builds this history through a pioneering examination of archaeological evidence in the broader context of literary sources, inscriptions, sculpture, and vase painting. Ranging from southern Italy to Asia Minor, and from the late Bronze Age to the fifth century A.D., she brings the priestesses to life--their social origins, how they progressed through many sacred roles on the path to priesthood, and even how they dressed. She sheds light on the rituals they performed, the political power they wielded, their systems of patronage and compensation, and how they were honored, including in death. Connelly shows that understanding the complexity of priestesses' lives requires us to look past the simple lines we draw today between public and private, sacred and secular. The remarkable picture that emerges reveals that women in religious office were not as secluded and marginalized as we have thought--that religious office was one arena in ancient Greece where women enjoyed privileges and authority comparable to that of men. Connelly concludes by examining women's roles in early Christianity, taking on the larger issue of the exclusion of women from the Christian priesthood. This paperback edition includes additional maps and a glossary for student use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These 13 workshop-based papers critique ecofeminist assumptions about traditional societies viewing women as closer to nature and more spiritual than men. Following an overview by Low (history, Open U.) and Tremayne (social and cultural anthropology, U. of Oxford), the first contribution frames the debate over gender politics and environmentalism. Next, case studies illustrate sacred landscape (not intrinsically ecologically-oriented) in such societies past and present. Part III treats nature and gender in several major world religions. The final paper discusses contemporary paganism's quest for wholeness. The cover title reads Women as sacred custodians of the earth? Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Download or read book Mule Hair written by Mule Hair and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-05 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journalist Steve Muehler gets more than he bargained for when he flies to North Dakota to research a little-known cult led by a reclusive figure who calls himself "Mule Hair." From the airport, he's taken to the tiny town of Wahpeton, and from there to an old opera house that is the hub of Mule Hair's compound. The fully stocked bar with red and white wines, marijuana, and psychedelic mushrooms is a signal of things to come. Then, High Priestess Abigail, a stunning woman wearing all black, leads him to Mule Hair, who is looking down at the world from his loft and wearing black leather gloves and a smoking jacket autographed by Hugh Hefner. Mueller has only just begun to take in the eccentricities of Mule Hair and his devoted group of followers. For the next seven weeks, he will participate in a series of dark rituals that includes drugs, autoerotic asphyxiation, the eating of placenta pot pies, forbidden sex, and much more. Join Mueller as he enters a secretive world. Here, the concern is not so much the journey that Mule Hair and his followers are on; it is how that journey will end.
