In recent times, this idea has re-emerged and for many this re-emergence is associated with the need to address issues surrounding the environment. This book celebrates the Earth Goddess and her oneness with creation and nature. Again Toni Carmine Salerno has captured in both image and word the energy and beauty of the Goddess. Incorporating ancient symbolism, Toni offers the opportunity to delve deep within the psyche in order to rediscover our instinctive connection with the Earth Goddess. In so doing, we are reminded of our responsibility to protect and nurture our beautiful earth and to celebrate and respect the ebb and flow of earth’s natural cycles. Where on Earth is Heaven? Jonathan Stedall Hawthorn Press • 978 1 9034 5890 7 This is a book about a personal journey; a journey into spiritual awakening. While it is personal, it is also universal. With so many of the underpinnings of the ‘collective belief system’ or consensus reality being put into question – from the way the world’s economy works to whether there is life after death – this book asks those questions that are pertinent to all of us. Tolstoy, the famed Russian author, once questioned why he should bother to try to do anything at all with his life, given the inevitability of decay and death. This is all about life, the reasons for it, and what the deeper meaning of it may be. For those with a philosophical bent, this may be the perfect book for this time. This book is an inspirational work capturing the eternal Goddess in image and word. This highly emotive work takes you on a journey of self exploration and delightful recognition as you connect with the sacred energy of the Goddess in all her beauty and wisdom. Toni Carmine Salerno's ability to inspire women to capture the essence of the Goddess through his beautiful illustrations and profound accompanying words is all the more poignant as it awakens the deep longing and recognition of the Sacred Masculine. So, having glimpsed this journey, the conclusion I have reached, is that the awakening and re-emergence of the Feminine Divine will by universal law awaken the Masculine Divine thereby creating much needed unity both individually and collectively.
