Difficult to know how to rate this one. There were parts that I very much enjoyed and appreciated, but others that rang somewhat hollow. Specifically, while I appreciated the attempts to include non-western traditions, some of what was included didn't match up with things I already knew--for perhaps the most blatant example, the lwa are not considered gods/goddesses in the Vodou tradition. That said, I think this book makes for a fairly good beginning-to-intermediate reference guide.
I need to re-read this. I haven't read it for some time but it is a glorious testament to the power of the feminine in creation and life, in nature and society.
Good read.
Good read.
Very helpful for modern day pagans. The goddess is very important in these religions. To learn more about the goddess go on www.yoni.com
A book every new Witch, Wiccan, or Pagan should have on their shelf
really liked this one.
Although there are some issues with using an outdated reference or two, overall this is a great book for understanding the feminine divine and conducting rituals in her honour.
This book is a great start and reference to who's who in the Goddess world....
Definite must read for all withes along with it's brother.
