The Return of the Feminine and the World Soul

The first compilation of writings and talks by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee culled from the past two decades, this stirring volume provides an understanding of the feminine for both men and women, describing the central part it must play in the work of global healing and transformation and stressing its redemption in order for Anima Mundithe soul of the worldto reemerge. Exploring the historical, cultural, and theological insights of the Sacred Feminine as well as practical advice for bringing the feminine principle into consciousness, this examination briefly explores the past patriarchal and matriarchal eras, moving from a historic perspective into addressing the potential of the present day. Explaining how the feminine has a deep understanding of the power of matter, this argument conveys the idea that every woman embodies the sacred substance of creation necessary for life's regeneration within her spiritual center. Maintaining that God's omnipotence and transcendence must be balanced by intimacy and love, this study addresses the need for the balancing of masculinity and femininity in order to birth the next phase of evolution.

Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee is a Sufi sheikh who has lectured extensively throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe and the author of more than 15 books, including Alchemy of Light and Spiritual Power. He lives in Inverness, California.
