The Double Goddess

“Vicki’s voice is unique and authentic in the women’s spirituality movement.” * Olympia Dukakis, Academy Award-Winning Actress *“Noble’s research is painstakingly detailed and will be sure to engage readers interested in women’s spirituality.” * Mimi Davis, Library Journal, September 2003, Vol.128 No. 15 *“Vicki Noble rekindles the forgotten lineage of female-to-female transmission–the sacred flow of energy between women that has never been possessed by the patriarchy nor by any male.” * Mary Daly, author of Gyn/Ecology and Quintessence *“A truly international collection of artifacts reflecting the power of ancient women … beautifully places each image in its historic context, affording an understanding of these ancient matristic cultures.” * JEANNINE DAVIS-KIMBALL, PH.D., Center for the Study of Eurasian Nomads *“Vicki Noble’s observation that, in many instances, matriarchal figures are depicted as bonded with other women in groupings of two or more … is original and brilliantly thought-provoking. She has, in fact, opened a new window on prehistoric societies.” * EVA KEULS, PH.D., author of The Reign of the Phallus *“The Double Goddess: Women Sharing Power is Vicki Noble’s most important book to date.” * Monica Sjoo, Goddessing, Issue #19, Winter/Spring 2004-5 *“Vicki is herself a great healer and is very experienced in how women’s “heat,” magnetically flowing energies finely tuned to each other, can bring about miracles.” * Monica Sjoo, Goddessing, Issue #19, Winter/Spring 2004-5 *“I highly recommend this book as an essential piece of Goddess scholarship and religion.” * Madelon Wise, MatriFocus, Imbolc 2005 *
