Book of Hours

Summary: Exquisitely beautiful, deeply spiritural prayers
Review: So often, books on Wicca give the impression that the Craft consists primarily of ritual and magick. This unique book illuminates the foundation that makes ritual and magick WORK -- a deep, trusting relationship with the Goddess. Start with the spirituality first, and then move on to the flashy stuff. Without an inner conviction and belief in the Goddess, it's all just parlor tricks. This book helped me develop the prayer life I'd been missing, and needing. Wicca isn't, after all, just a reconstruction of a bunch of ancient harvest rites. It's a religion. It's a comfort to the soul and a light for the path. The prayers, meditations, and affirmations in this beautiful book are creative, reverent, and inspirational, and will serve as springboards to your own prayers that will deepen and enhance your knowledge of and love for the Lady.

Summary: A Spiritual Gift
Review: There is a sacred energy around this volume. The wisdom of design, yes, but this is not a hollow package. The comfort and spirit inside far exceed the outer beauty.
The word "prayer" is not commonly heard among Pagans, why? The Book of Hours fills a deep need for simple daily devotion, meditation and joy, that requires only you. When you may not have time to perform a New Moon ritual, you'll have an outlet that allows your dedication. It is the purest ritual you can undertake.
Light and thin, this is a book you can carry with pride that won't cause stares or unwanted questions, as well. To tell non-Pagans that you are "praying" is a spiritual bridge and shield at the same time. This is a book to which people of other religions are very receptive, because it is after all, a book like their own.
There are modest poetic prayers for waking and sleeping, morning and night, each day of the week, and the Moon cycles and Sabbats. Most blessed is the (too short) section of "Common of our Lives Prayers" which has the wonderfully memorable "Prayer for a Safe Journey", among others. This also contains the "Prayer for the Loss of a Pet" which was what sold the book to me. Anyone who writes with such compassion should be rewarded.
The Book of Hours is inexpensive as well, and my copy still looks new after a year and a half of reverent use. I cannot recommend it enough. Dare I say it's like a bible to me?

Review: This is a beautiful book, inside and out. As a contemplative and solitary Goddess devotee, I found that this book touched my heart completely! I use it every day and would highly recommend it to others so inclined to prayer work. Thank you, Ms. Gillotte, for a fine and moving contribution!

Summary: Spiritual and Moving
Review: This is a wonderful little prayer book that adds dimension and depth to the spiritual life of anyone. The prayers in this book are simple and short, but moving and beautiful. There are prayers for different phases of the moon, different periods of your life, moods, and also rotating prayers so your daily prayers are not the same from day to day or week to week.

I have been practicing wicca for almost seven years now and prayer has always been a part of my daily routine. I found this book to deepen my prayer time and give me prayers I can expand and build on.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is on the path of the goddess. You will not be disappointed by what you find inside.
