"1. From the Greek Parthenos, Virgin plus GENESIS, unitary creation without conjunction. 2. Process of a woman creating her Self by opening to her ability to define herself apart from the patriarchal mythos. 3. The album: An award-winning collection of original songs with powerful woman-identified mythic imagery, celebrating the Goddess with a unique blend of contemporary and traditional instrumentation. Kay Gardner calls Ruth a musician/priestess to lead us into the next century, and this album a must for anyone who believes in the political power of women's spirituality. Finally available on CD in 2002, it's one of the most woman-loving, sensual/ sexual, angry, mystical and magical albums we have heard. Songs include Crone, Naiad, Kadistu (Holy Woman), Sisters' Eyes. Very highly recommended!"
