Sharon L. Coggan, previously professor of religious studies, and author of Sacred Disobedience, discusses the importance of goddess to our modern culture with Shira.

Why has modern culture has lost its sense of the sacred? How did our present common fear of mystery and divinity come about? What has caused are we starved for the profound experience? What is the difference between religion and mysticism? What are the effects of purposeful suppression of the goddess, the feminine aspect in every being and repressed sexuality?

We look at the triple goddess Uma/Parvati, Durga and Kali,  women archetypes, symbolism, etymlogy and how to use it for self-development and shadow work.
