Summary: celtic women's spirituality: accessing the cauldron of life
Review: I believe this is a great book. Everyone should read it not just women. It is a great conversation piece as well. I bought the book due to intrest in the celtic traditions because of family history and found it most excellent. I had trouble putting it down so I could sleep at night.

Summary: BASIC WICCA WITH A CELTIC SLANT
Review: I bought this book with high hopes. I have to say not only is she boring. She is very feministic and by the way I am a women but at the same time when you read her glossary of Goddess's it is not the whole story and only focuses on their negative side. I have read better and will never buy her stuff again. If you are a Man don't even bother you will get tired of her one sided view and negativity.

Summary: Very nice
Review: I really liked this book :o) Gives you a strong feeling of Celtic Spirituality and your connections to it. I found this to be a very empowering book.Felt very natural to me. Probably not a good one for a beginner though.You might want to read this after you learn the craft basics. Gentle Breezes, Cinnamon

Summary: Great book!
Review: I think that this book is a great book for any woman who feels connected with Celtic spirituality. This book gives insight on the different celtic goddesses, the triple goddess, and several other aspects. The rituals and guided meditation is great. She poses questions that will truly have you thinking about yourself as a woman. I give it five stars because I have read one of McCoy's books before and I think that this is definitely one of the best celtic books I have read.

Summary: A great book, although I'm thinking different
Review: I thought this was a GREAT book, but after reading some of the other reviews, I'm beginning to think I have been tricked with this book. I'm new to all this, so if anyone could recommend a good book on the subject, please e-mail me! Thanx and blessed be all!

Summary: pretty decent
Review: I'd ordered this back on one of my deployments for something to read. Its pretty good - I enjoyed the historical aspects, but didn't have much used for the rituals as they were mainly geared towards 2 or more people. I think I'm probably still looking for more solid history, less ritual practice. But, all in all, it was a good book and will probably cover what most folk are looking for.

Summary: Shaky scholarship, but still useful for practice
Review: It's true that the scholarship in this book is very shaky. Although she calls herself a "historian" in her author's bio on the back cover, the historical resources are somewhat shoddy, and the work is certainly not written from a place of scholarship (for instance, no footnotes when historical assertions are made, no real references). However, I don't think that detracts from the usefulness of this book.Although there is very little scholarship in this book, it is still filled with a number of useful meditations and spellwork that can be used in modern feminist spirituality. If you are looking for hard-core Celtic spirituality, this may not be the book for you. But, if you're looking for a book that will help you to enhance your (wiccan/witchcraft/goddess-oriented) practice with some ideas based in Celtic mythology and rooted in modern Wicca, then you may find this useful. It may also be useful as a book to help you think differently about the Celtic spiritual path you are already on. If you are open to different ideas, then you will find it useful. If not, then you may want to pass.

Summary: Great Celtic Magic Title!
Review: The genre of Celtic studies is new to me. I've looked at several titles but I have to say Edain McCoy's book of Celtic Women's Spirituality is the one worth you time, money, and shelf space. She has obviously done some grueling research to write this book, and facts are backed up with detailed notes and bibliographies. She explores the cults and clans of Celtic tradition. This book is rich with Celtic and Pagan history, and also has many guided meditations and rituals. What I like most about it was the surprises at the end. If you are in a location where Celtic and magic books aren't readily available, there is a great appendix of sources, magazines, and newsletters. There is also a section of Celtic Folk Tunes sheet music. This is a great gift to yourself, or any friend studying Celtic magic.
