THE GODS OF MAN UNVEILS
THE PANTHEONS OF MANY CULTURESThe polytheistic heritage of man is a rich and often neglected source of insight into the human condition. These traditions, often only barely surviving millennia of hostilities from the "major" monotheistic religions, enable the student a window to the collective unconscious, the realm where the archetypes of the God-forms still influence our daily lives. A new book, The Gods Of Man, provides a quick guide to many of these deities.
Subtitled "A Small Dictionary of Pagan Gods and Goddesses", this collection is the product of many years of study by its author, David W. Owens. In it the reader will find the major deities of fifteen different cultures, regions, and nations. Covered in The Gods Of Man are African, Aztec, Celtic, Chinese, Egyptian, Greek, Japanese, Mesopotamian, Norse, North American, Oceanian, Roman, Santerian, Slavic, and South and Central American pantheons.
To flip through these pages is to take a walk through the history of the human search for the divine. Some of the Gods and Goddesses described in The Gods Of Man are familiar to anyone versed in Western civilization, others offer glimpses into obscure corners of the race's psyche. This small volume will be treasured by anyone today who is searching for what lies beneath the surface of the mundane world.
