"Betty LaDuke's multi-cultural vision enlarges our understanding of the symbolic meaning of The Great Earth Mother in extremely important ways. She clarifies for us the way in which the magical resonance of the Goddess as an image of creation, fertility, ecological balance, spirituality, and political empowerment functions both historically and cross-culturally to invest creative works of art with sacred powers of transformation."
