Clan of the Goddess: Celtic Widom and Ritual for Women

Welcoming and warm, this guide teaches the power behind ancestry and love above all.

I have been doing spiritual counseling for 30 years and have a trunk full of techniques I use for myself and others. This book gave me a new technique for communicating to spirit which is now one of my very favorites for myself and also in my practice. I am recommending the Clan of the Goddess to all the new-to-spiritual-growth people I come across and also to the many friends I have who have done spiritual work for years. This book is a 'must have' in my library. Clan of the Goddess triggered some really old past life Celtic memories. All the rituals are to be done in a fun way with easy to obtain stuff, like the candles and music and herbs. The writer speaks to me with an easy and casual manner as if we have been friends forever.

I picked up Clan of the Goddess on a whim and now all my friends Must read it!! It is an easy and beautifully written practical guide that keeps giving women the much needed boost for our busy lives. The inspirational wisdom of the ancient Clan Mothers provided me with a 'tool kit' full of everyday resources for empowering myself and my family. Do yourself a favor go out of you way for this book, it Is the Real Thing! I can't wait to see more of CC's work. Thank You CC.

A much-needed guide to Feminine wisdom from a thoroughly modern witch. Clan is one of those rare books that breaks through the Esoterica Barrier and humanizes the practice of working with the Earth Mother and the Life-force itself.It is an especially important book because it creates the impression that Wicca in all its forms makes total sense and that the natural magic Brondwin refers to in her Woman-orientated rituals is the birthright of every female on this planet. For too many centuries women above all, have feared even the idea of spells and incantations because of the legacy of the Inquisition, which Penny Shuttle and Peter Redgrove (The Wise Wound) referred to as "Nine million menstrual murders".Just reading Brondwin's book, you cannot help but realize that the suppression of the Feminine is nothing less than the suppression of the Life-force itself. After all, we are living in a patriarchal society that changed Menopause from a sacred transition into a form of mental illness. Well, they have to inhibit the Wisewoman somehow, don't they?The irony is that man bashers like Andrea Dworkin and Mary Daly have made it harder for progressive feminists like Barbara G. Walker, June Singer, Jean Shinoda Bolen and C.C. Brondwin to write about Women's Issues. The problem being that over-sensitive males often see Pro-Female as being a form of Anti-Male, which it is NOT.Apart from her erudition, which gives the book its credibility, Brondwin also throws in lashings of sass and humour, and many modern examples to illustrate her points - references to Riverdance and Loreena McKennitt, for example. If you're a guy reading this, buy it for a woman you love, whether it's your wife, girlfriend, mother, sister or whoever. If you're a woman, just buy it.Whether you are looking for spiritual development or Love spells, this book has it all. Brondwin is not an armchair academic pagan. This Wisewoman walks the walk. I can only urge as many women as possible to join her. I have four daughters, and I shall certainly be urging them, too.Steven Cain (author of Sirius Moonlight: The Origins Of The Suppression Of The Feminine).

What a beautiful book this is. The author has done a marvelous job in making the book not only user friendly and down to earthbut comprehensive in bringing forth the knowledge she wishesto share with you. For Goddess lovers and Celtic lovers, a must have for your library.

If you are not afraid to step outside the rules of conventional healing and want to empower yourself by exploring ancient feminine rituals, this is the book for you!Updated versions of mystic Celtic rituals are outlined by C.C. Bronwin - formulas on how to reach the power of the goddess within the feminine soul. This is not an alternative to today's religions but an exploration of the spiritual in the form of the goddess as the Druids saw it. Embracing the healing powers of herbs and other earthy talismans Bronwin uses the magic of candlelight rituals to guide us on to inner strength. There are our personal spirit guides to discover and ways to defeat our debilitating monsters. It's about conquering negative forces by accessing the power of our joyful experiences. The beautifully illustrated Clan of the Goddess is an awakening for the mind and a treat for the eye.
