[Bladestryke · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good intro into the goddesses of the world. Very basic but offers a good selection of further reading. Offers easy to understand rituals for those interested. Quick read.

[Araminta Matthews · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book offered some interesting lenses on mythological goddesses, and a few helpful rituals to honor life transitions. I was a bit bothered by the fact that the phrase "time immemorial" was used more than six times (in six different chapters) because I just can't handle the cliche, but the actual content was pleasant enough. She brushes the surface of the myth behind the Goddess figure, but generally digs into the suggested ritual/honoring/offering to the Goddess. I also appreciate the light feminist lens through which the goddesses are described. That is, it's not an overt lens, but it's there and thus obvious (and homey) to a feminist like me. Good book.

Good book, but not to substantive. There are many times the author just refers you to another book for more information. Worth having though.
