The ancient bond between spirituality and erotic passion has, in modern times, been lost in the depths of the unconscious, leaving our relationships empty, dull, and unfulfilled.

Back when people still honored the Great Goddess of Love, the sacred prostitute was a virgin in the primordial sense of the term, that is, an individualized woman - deeply whole, complete, and autonomous. The welcome she granted to the 'stranger who entered the temple' was radiant, full of confidence, wise, and sensual all at once.

Her purpose and destiny were to bring the love of the goddess into direct contact with people and to transmit it to humanity. Through the union of opposites - the masculine with the feminine, the spiritual with the physical - the transcendence of the personal element and the entry of the divine occurred.

But, in those times, unlike in our era, human sexuality and religious feeling were inseparable values. This joyous book - firmly grounded in the Depth Psychology of Carl Jung - unequivocally tells us that to regain vitality, liveliness, and joy, we must restore the soul of the sacred servant to the place that rightfully belongs to her, within our conscious understanding.
