Moon Under Her Feet Review

             The Moon Under Her Feet was a terrific book and I was very excited to have it revealed to me. I have always loved reading the Bible and learning about the times of Jesus. This book helped me to see if from a totally different point of view. In our church a play is always put on at Easter showing Jesus resurrection and Mari Magdalene was always a character they never told much about except that she was one of the three who discovered the empty tomb. It was wonderful to be able to see just how she fit into the story and what her relationship was with Almah Mari, previously known to me as "The Virgin Mary". This book put into perspective the goddess side and helped me to understand more about what was and what came to be of Almah Mari and Mari Anath.
             One thing that stood out for me in The Moon Under Her Feet was the traces that Almah Mari and Mari Anath experienced. The first time I became aware of them was when Almah was preparing for her marriage to Sharon. It was then that she discovered she was Isis and it brought about many experiences that Isis went through during her life. Another trance that had a huge effect on me was Mari's trance when she felt herself become Almah. It was while she was in that trance that she was aware of what actually happened with Sharon's death and the agony that Almah experienced on their wedding night. The last trance that had an effect on me was when Mari made her descent into the Netherworld to escape the marriage to Herod. Almah even warned her of the possibilities of danger she may experience through this trance. How horrible it must have been for all of the goddesses who were exposed to having dreams and visions such as these. They truly seem to be most frightening and terrible when one goes into a trance. Even though these seemed to be terrible experiences for them the goddesses welcomed them and accepted them as gifts from the Goddess herself.
