Harness the power of the feminine divine with this practical guide to goddesses, their powers, and their mythology. Discover the myths associated with popular, enduring goddesses from a variety of spiritual traditions.
As you come to understand the powers they’ve possessed since the beginning of time, you’ll also unearth the goddess that dwells within yourself. Author Roni Jay describes the patronage of each goddess in detail so that you can identify the one who is most appropriate to your needs and desires. Complete instructions for more than 50 rituals—for love, fertility, bereavement, justice, prosperity, protection, healing, and more—enable you to enlist the help of the particular goddess you choose.
Really beautiful illustrations by Carole Hènaff. The artwork alone is worth purchasing the book. The goddess information is nothing new, but is a good and brief overview for someone unfamiliar with them. It is a smaller book, so there aren’t many goddesses included, but there is a good representation of beliefs and cultures included. The rituals are simple and easy enough for beginners and include items most people would either already own, or have easy access to get, which is much appreciated!
The goddess summaries were nice, but sometimes a bit too concise to really understand why a certain ritual was associated with a certain goddess. The rituals themselves didn’t resonate with me, though that’s a personal preference. The illustrations were lovely.
