Goddesses: A Skeleton Key Study Guide

In this webinar, we discuss the recently published, Goddesses: A Skeleton Key Study Guide, a compelling study guide for Goddesses: Mysteries of the Feminine Divine with points of interest, essay topics, discussion prompts, and creative prompts. We hope to help teachers and students enter into Campbell’s work and build on his ideas. 100% of the proceeds from the book go to support the work of the Joseph Campbell Foundation.
