The Book of Goddesses

by Nancy Blair

Draw inspiration and energy from the power of the Goddess all year long with this portable, week-by-week companion. A celebration of female deities and spirituality, this collection of Goddess-themed meditations includes 52 entries, arranged according to seasonal potency. From the Butterfly Maiden of spring to the Rainbow Serpent of winter, each Goddess's mythological, historical, and geographical associations are explained, along with the spiritual practices connected with her. Accompanied by a glorious illustration, each entry also includes an "affirmation" to uplift and empower. Whether you invoke the name of a Goddess long worshipped in her corner of the world, such as Gaia, Kali, Artemis, and Aphrodite, or a newly "rehabilitated" entity, such as Lilith or Hectate, you will benefit from the creative, nurturing power of these female life forces. Throughout the year, each weekly meditation will bless, caress, and awaken you to the vast spiritual heritage of women's wisdom.

A great read to empower you.
One Goddess for each week of the year - the book is divided into the four seasons. There is a short summary of each Goddess, and then a picture, a meditation piece and an affirmation for each one too.
The only thing that would have been extra brilliant about this book is, if it had bigger pages and the illustrations were in colour!
