Rating:  Summary: Wicca Spirituality Explored Review: This book explores the spirituality associated with Wicca. It is an examination of the exploration of personal experience with Deity.The book is broken down into four sections. Each section takes one of the four Sabats not associated with the seasonal change. It explores a personal relationship between the Sabat, the person and the Deity of their choice. Covered here are Samhain/Anubis by Geoffrey W. Miller, Imbolc/Brigit by Aexei Kondratiev, Beltaine/Aphrodite by Maureen Reddington-Wilde and Lammas/Gia by Judy Harrow. The aspects of the Deity chosen are discussed and the myths and legends surrounding the particular deity are told. The associations as seen by the person with their personal Deity and the connection between the Deity and the Sabat chosen are all covered in depth and on a personal level. These are intimate looks at how these people celebrate Deity and how they connect with and are guided by their chosen Gods and Goddesses. There are stories of the Deities, discussions on personal connections and personal experiences. The book also includes rituals of connection to these Deities. The spirituality of these relationships are explored in depth, making this book unique in its content. This book carries the reader into very personal spiritual experiences almost allowing the reader to feel the connection between the writer and Deity. This is a book of sharing as no other book I've seen lately. The emphasis is on what Wicca should be all about; the spirituality and the connection between individual and Deity. The writers carry this over from personal experience into life, community and into the earth itself. We don't see many books of this nature on the market. I wish we had more like this. It is well written, covers many different aspects of the topic and even has an index for reference. This is an essential book to add to your library no matter what your level of practice or length of time on your path. And if you are just starting out, it is an excellent guide for you to begin your chosen path.
