Although distant geographically, these divine figures are surprisingly similar-representing concepts of liminality, outsiderhood, and structural inferiority, embodied in the divine feminine. These strong, independent, unrestrained figures are connected to the periphery and to magical powers, including power over sexuality, transformation, and death. Oleszkiewicz-Peralba offers a study of the origin and worship of four feminine deities across cultures and continents: the Slavic Baba Yaga, the Hindu Kālī, the Brazilian Pombagira, and the Mexican Santa Muerte. Although these divinities have often been marginalized through dismissal, demonization, and dulcification, they continue to be extremely attractive, as they empower their devotees confronting them with the ultimate reality of transience and death. Oleszkiewicz-Peralba examines how these sacred icons have been adaptedand transformed across time and place.. | 出版日期 | Book 2015 | 关键词 | Fierce goddesses; Eurasia; Latin America; Baba Yaga; Ka?li?; Pombagira; Santa Muerte; Slavic fairy tales; li | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/9781137535009 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-56076-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-53500-9 | copyright | Palgrave Macmillan, a division of Nature America Inc. 2015 |
