Hello, I'm Linda Savage, author of Reclaiming Goddess Sexuality: The Power of the Feminine Way, (Revised Edition, 2004).

I was inspired to write this book because of two seemingly unrelated circumstances. Many years ago I had a powerfully erotic dream in which I participated in the "Great Marriage" ceremony. I didn't know what that was at the time, but I discovered that this sacred ritual, enacted several times a year, was the experience I had had in the dream. You will find out about this practice, and many other fascinating facts about these women honoring cultures, in my book.

The second reason I wrote this book is a result of my experience in private practice as a psychologist and sex therapist. For over 18 years I had been treating couples and individuals with sexual issues and had been amazed by the sheer numbers of women reporting that they have little desire for sex in their long-term relationships. In fact, sex clinics estimate that fully one out of three women in relationships are distressed because of lack of desire. In studying the cultures that honored women, I wanted to know how they approached sexuality in general and specifically, how they viewed women's sexuality. I found it to be vastly different from the way we look at sex, and far more life affirming. The ancient matrilineal societies offered valuable insights into the mysteries of sexuality that can result in renewed sexual interest for many women.

Even if you do not feel that you have a low sexual desire, this book can enhance your approach to sex and expand your sexuality towards new pathways of emotional and spiritual discovery.

Reclaiming Goddess Sexuality will change how you perceive yourself and offer more diverse options for a new intimacy in a more balanced sexual equation. You'll find that sex is more creative when it is well negotiated. Many experiences may harness the qualities of sexuality that are both healing and consciousness expanding.

Feel free to email me. I'd love to hear from you about your dilemmas, concerns, questions and triumphs.
