O Mother Sun!: A New View of the Cosmic Feminine

From Booklist\n(It is Booklist policy that a book written by a regular contributor receive a brief descriptive announcement rather than a recommending review.)
A survey of myths from more than a dozen cultures reveals that the sun has been mythologically cast in feminine form as mother, shaman, sister, and lover. The cultures discussed include those of the Japanese, Koreans, Native Australians, Native Americans, Balts and Scandinavians, Irish, and Egyptians. Ray Olson
