NH: I forget; doesn't Marion Zimmer Bradley's _Mists of Avalon?_ Emma
Bull's _Bone Dance_ brings in some of the lwas (deities) of the Voudun
pantheon, and a couple of the female ones appear. And there's Karen Joy
Fowler's _The Sweetheart Season,_ but that's kind of stretching it.
Funny, it was reading contemporary fantasy that led me to look into some
of the pantheistic, animistic (is that the right word?), goddess-centred
religions, but now I can't think of too many novels which directly
feature goddesses.
