The Soul's Inner Statues

by Kaye Boesme

The Soul's Inner Statues is a practical guide for anyone looking to develop a solid spiritual practice to honor the Gods. This book takes you on a journey through the foundations of daily prayer, offering guidance on finding and honoring the Gods that resonate with you. It delves into contemplative practices, the essentials of building meaningful rituals, the importance of purification, and the role of the hearth and home in your spiritual practice. We will also discuss the importance of mindset, critical thinking, and lifelong learning. The author, raised in modern Neopaganism, takes an approach to theology that draws from Platonism and Neoplatonism, and she bases the practical elements on her own lived experience. Whether you identify as pagan, polytheist, or simply a spiritual person seeking a deeper connection to something greater than yourself, The Soul's Inner Statues provides the accessible and realistic tools you need to embark on a fulfilling spiritual journey through daily prayer and sustained connection to the Gods.

[Pinar · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kaye is a wonderfully inspiring writer who makes Platonist ideas very accessible with a clear and almost poetic prose. This book has everything in a small package and the e-book is offered free.

Clear and thorough guide to beginning a relationship with the Gods from a modern day Platonist, with a knowledgeable and compassionate voice. Anyone interested in polytheist practice should consider starting with this one. This book is available free online, but I will add that the physical book itself is nice in its construction and portable, which makes it useful as you start building up your practice if you decide to utilize its guidance.
