An exploration of the repressed, esoteric female mysteries within the Bible in the course of the lives of 4 girls, all archetypes of the sacred prostitute
• exhibits how those 4 archetypal ladies signify the 4 levels of improvement of soul consciousness
• finds how the terror of the ability of the sacred prostitute resulted in a rejection of lady sexuality and a damaging dualistic suggestion of guys and women
• Explains how the dogma of the stainless perception represents the repression of the divine female in Christianity
In Feminine Mysteries within the Bible, Ruth Rusca unveils sacred mysteries of the female and the alchemical courting of the female and male forces on the center of the Judeo-Christian culture. Drawing on over 30 years of analysis, she explores 4 archetypal girls within the Bible: Tamar, the sacred prostitute; Rahab, the meretrix; Ruth, who redeems the soul; and Bathsheba, the daughter of the Goddess. those women--sacred prostitutes one and all--represent the indestructible female lifestyles strength, the knowledge of the Goddess, and the transformative energy of the soul, and so they represent the 4 levels of the advance of soul attention.
Mary, mom of Jesus, is the quintessence of those 4 girls, yet Rusca exhibits that the dogma of the stainless notion has repressed the importance of Mary and subverted the divine female in Christianity as a result of church’s worry of ladies and their life-giving strength. those girls cross an imperishable female lifestyles strength from new release to iteration, and realizing their lives creates a route to overcoming the damaging trends of dualistic “male-female” thinking--a duality that profanes female sexuality and mysteries instead of revering and celebrating them.
