Second Edition is now available

Hello readers,
The second edition of my first book, THE FIRST BOOK OF THE BLACK GODDESS by Matomah Alesha is now available at Lulu.com. Please purchase this book and all titles from Lulu for now. I am in the process of putting these titles into the book distribution systems of Amazon.com and many others. I am happy this is finally done. The first book was great but this is even better. There are better footnotes, more expanded information on the black goddess cross culturally, more black goddess profiles are added with their complementary mythology. Also there are more illustrations over 20 this time. The first book had only three. The book cover was done by a wonderful local artist name Mano Sotelo. His work is incredible. More about him and his portfolio can be found here...http://www.sotelostudio.com It really adds to the vibrant look of this edition. There is so much more..lots of editing and refinishing went into this one to make an exceptional book for readers exploring this archetype. All the products at Matam Press complement each other, please consider the black goddess journal and calendar which has as much research and love involved in them.
