A Wise Woman's Guide to Spells, Rituals, and Goddess Love

when i'm feeling down, i take this and read a bit, then i'm feeling ok again. this is a great book for the beginner who is studying feminist witchcraft, and it covers herstory, witchcraft history, sabbats, herbs, tools, some spells, chakras, divinination, meditations, ethics etc. not so deeply, i guess, but enough to know, what to do. the author wrote this book with power and passion, like if i read few pages, i can feel or sense it so clearly, that it leaves me wordless. but anyway, at least i know that goddess-worshipping craft is part of me. that's why and how it makes me feel better.

Ok this book isn't soo good! it does tell you about the goddess but not the info i really needed. it is great in magickal workings but to me not much in goddess warship! i've studied the craft at age 8 and i'm only 11. it's great for people intrested in magick but bad for people intrested in goddesses. If you wanna buy a book on goddesses buy this book called The Maiden, Mother, And the Crone.(i think i spelled the title right! but i might have been wrong! or close to the title)

I would definately recommend this book. I go back to it time and time again. It has a great overview to many aspects of Goddess worship, astrology, tarot, herbal folklore and the history of Goddess worship. She cites many resources in the back of the book that can provide further reading depending on where your interests lie. Excellent book, especailly for the beginner.

This particular volume was a gift, and it has been one of the BEST compliments to my Witchcraft library!! Elisabeth gives excellent background to Goddess worship, and then proceeds to inform and explain well and nicely to the Practitioner just how to practice! There is a lovely Herbal section in the book, as well! For literature I did not select myself, it was nonetheless a truly worthy book. I use her prayers, chants, activities and guidelines to ritual in most all of my practice.
