Summary: The Goddess is alive!
Review: This is a wonderful book on the Goddesses. You can tell by all of her books how she is so devoted to the Goddess. In this book you will find that the chapters are devoted to each month. She has rituals and spells, and dates of celebrations for the many goddesses of diffrent lands. This is good for anyone who is in love with the Goddess. She gives information of diffrent goddesses. She has some real lovley illustrations as well in this book. I have this book for many years now and I still find it very useful.

Summary: A Must have for a newbie or experienced lad or lass
Review: This is the kind of book that speaks to you. From the descriptions of rituals and celebrations from across the world and a variety of pagan religions to the synposes of various deities. This book has so much detial and a terrific index.

This book was recommended to me by a female riend of mine, a felllow social worker and child welfare case manager. As a fan of Greek and Roman myth, this ook is what sparked the interest in me that, there were a plethora of goddesses out there that could and would listen if you only talked to them in the right manner.

Intriguing feminist updates of the goddesses are both societally relevant (Athena and Hera/Juno in particular. )

But the one strength of this book that stands out compared to all of her other books is the DETAILED index for the spells.
In the later books by Madame Z , the lack of an index makes it hard to find a spell on short notice unless you know where to look.

There is so much detail, and captivating autobiographical stuff that you just cannot put it down. It is not a male bashing book either. This is the knd fo book that shows the power and awe of the Female aspect of the God/ess.

Blessed be, this is a wonderful book and the cornerstone of my faith these last few years in the Craft and the Living greek Goddesses.

Brava Madame
