Maiden Magick: A Teen's Guide to Goddess Wisdom and Ritual

Rating:
Summary: Good Intent...I suppose
Review: First off, I would like to say that I give kudos to the author for trying to write a book on the Goddess path for teenagers, while stressing the Goddess inside and relieving guilt and stress. The key word here is trying. This book is basically rubbish. She does not give thorough details at all for anything: Sabbats, ritual, magic - anything and briefly skims over ideas that are essential to this path. I didn't even finish this book and am sending it back to amazon. If you want to read a good book on teenage witchcraft, read Where to Park Your Broomstick: A Teenager's Guide to Witchcraft.

Review: I bought this book thinking it would be a lovely, thorough introduction to the Celtic Goddess path (of which I am highly interested) but I was wrong. The only good thing about this book is that the author stresses the idea that the Goddess is in every teenage girl and to get rid of guilt and stress. The rest of the book is utter rubbish. Not only does she give historical information that has no back up (such as the idea that the Celts only worshipped a Goddess), she does not give what to do in a ritual but says that it is important, acts as though the Celtic Goddess path is the best path for anyone to follow, and does not give thorough information on what magic(k), the Sabbats, and many other things are. As a teenage Wiccan ,I am always looking for books for teenagers interested in Wicca and witchcraft, and I have to say that this was a waste of time. I didn't even finish the book and am sending it back to amazon. If you want to read a good book for teens on witchcraft, read Where to Park Your Broomstick: A Teenager's Guide to Witchcraft instead.

Summary: very well done
Review: Though I am only half way through the book, Maiden Magick has been a very positive experience for me. I highly recommend Maiden Magick to adolescents interested in learning the way of the Goddess. With her love and knowledge, C.C Brondwin does an extraordinary job of making the reader feel comfortable, highly respected and loved while teaching you to be true to yourself and to bring Goddess love into the hearts of others. I give this book a well deserved 5 stars :)
