Goddesses: Mysteries of the Divine Feminine and Joseph Campbell with Dr. Safron Rossi

In The Hero With a Thousand Faces, Joseph Campbell shared one his best known and most widely used ideas— the mythic pattern of the Hero’s Journey—, which has led some of us to ask about the Heroine and to wonder about Campbell’s views of the feminine.We received one answer to this question, in the form of recently published book titled Goddesses: Mysteries of the Feminine Divine, edited by Dr. Safron Rossi. This book is part of the ongoing work of the Joseph Campbell Foundation to organize and publish Campbell’s scholarship on a wide range of mythological topics.I had the good fortune and privilege of talking with Dr. Rossi about Campbell’s view of the divine feminine and the possible significance of this book for our time. She also shares her insight into Campbell and the transformational energy of the divine feminine.Support the show
