  • Discover the feuding goddesses of Babylon,
  • Witness the great love affair of the Egyptian creator gods,
  • Travel with the West African goddess from the shores of Nigeria to the new world of the Americas,
  • Meet the divine forces which may still dwell in the heavens, the mountains, rivers, oceans, and stars.
