Synopsis
When the Goddess of Love was still honored,
the sacred prostitute was virgin in the original sense
of the word (one-in-herself), a person of deep integrity
whose welcome for the stranger was radiant, self-confident
and sensuous. Her purpose was to bring the goddess' love
into direct contact with mankind. In antiquity, human
sexuality and the religious attitude were inseparable.
This
book is solidly based on Jungian psychological principles
and powerfully illustrates how our vitality and capacity
for joy depend on restoring the soul of the sacred prostitute
to its rightful place in our conscious understanding.
The Sacred Prostitute is engaging reading that provides
a great deal of thoughtful observations on the nature
of human sexuality and its relationship to the well-balanced
personality and the health and stability of human society.
