I know so many, my mind has suddenly gone blank! :-) A couple of
goodies are: two books by Alice O.  Howell" The Web in the Sea:
Jung, Sophia and the Geometry of the Soul", and "The Dove in the
Stone."

>From a somewhat different perspective: "The Black Goddess and
the Sixth Sense" by Peter Redgrove.

Somewhere in the chaos of our library there is also a
commemorative calendar/book of days for major festivals of the
Goddess in the Ancient world.  (It was there I learnt that
"Astrea's" (the real one) special day is my birthday - a bit of
synchonicity for you.) Also, we had a book of sites of Goddess
worship in Europe, but I think the Goddess has reclaimed that one
:-).  We also have one called "Sky Dancer" (I think) on the role
of women, or more specifically Dakinis in the Tibetan Buddhist
tradition - I know it's there somewhere!

Then of course, there's the classic "The White Goddess" by Rober
Graves.
