A Woman's Guide to the Earth Traditions: Exploring Wicca, Shamanism, Paganism, Native America and Celtic Spiritual

Rating:
Summary: Educational, Enlightened and Insightful
Review: After reading a great deal about Paganism, Earth Traditions and Wicca, Vivianne's book was the first that gave a me a sense of who I was and what I believe Pagan practice should stand for. Many others would have you think theirs is the 'only way' even amongst many Pagans or Wiccan practitioners. Vivianne manages to give a wonderful overview of many of the worlds Earth Traditions or Pagan beliefs, respecting each for the underlying spiritual truths they contain.

With her approachable, open style of illumination she manages to make the reader feel comfortable with their own inutitive connection to the Divine. A quote found in her book reads:

'To Dispute the religion (Dharana) of another
is the mark of a narrow mind
Oh Lord! Oh Great Magician!
With whatsoever faith or feeling we call on Thee
Thou art pleased.'

Despite the title, I didn't find it exclusively women orientated. I'd love my husand to read it! Well done Vivianne, you certinaly helped me greatly along my spiritual path.
