Really enjoyed this and surprised I’d never read it before. I’m taking the new companion class right now and so I can “hear” this book in Patricia’s gentle, assertive, and clever voice. Lots of great quotes and food for thought in these small pages.

I LOVED her other book, but this one was just (shrug shoulders).

Not much in here that was new to me. Might interest people who haven't previously encountered the concept of creating their own rituals and are open to a thoroughly New Age approach.
