Rating: Summary: not too bad Review: A book which is full of fancy and interesting things, yet the cover is not so perfect,looks like some kind of software(PHOTOSHOP)...... :P
Rating: Summary: Up on Ebay after 10 miniutes Review: I concider myslef a very well-read Pagan. Over time, I have learned how to distinguish the fact from the author's imagination. And, I have to say, most of this book fell under the latter catogory.It's so childish, and demening to Paganisam. The author did not even get her facts straight with regaurds to the origin of Goddess Religions. To me, it sounded like she was saying " Oh, everything went fine and well while we belived in and worshipped the Earth Mother. Everything was about Women. But, then some evil jerks with their One True Man God came along and ruined it all. the end." Really, the origins of the Earth Mother ("Gaia") are much harder to trace then she made it seem. In fact, most ( if not all) of the aincent people belived in Panthons ( Many Gods). The author also called Panthons something like Paetheons... Odd. Maybe I am just misinformed, but whatever. It did have a few alright excrsises in the book to get closer to the Goddess, though.. Some of them where just downright perverted. " Get in frount of a mirror, take your clothes off, then with a friend or by yourself, get some body paint, and paint eachother." But, that's just my oppinion. So, if you're looking for a misinformitive book, buy this. If not, I reccomend looking at "Drawing Down the Moon" by Margret Alder to learn the true roots of modern Paganisam and Goddess worship.

Rating: Summary: would make a great text for a teen class. Review: This is a well written, researched and factually sound book on the religion of the Goddess without getting weighed down in Wiccan dogma by going straight to the source. It really delivers its content in a creative and practical way.
