The Joy of Family Ritual, written in the style of a cookbook, offers recipes for how to nourish and enrich everyday life. Biziou, a modern shaman, inducted me into a deeper experience of family. The recipes have the power to transfrom ordinary actions into sacred art. In the alchemical tradition of the ancients, this book serves as a resource guide for the imagination.

Barbara Biziou's book is brilliant, inspiring, and comforting. It satisfies a deep, often unconscious, human craving for rituals that give meaning and a sense of continuity to our family lives. Every family, no matter what its religious or cultural background, will profit from this fascinating book. It's like having your own fairy godmother in the attic weaving your family's personal magical golden cloth out of the straw of ordinary life.Barbara combines her extensive knowledge of rituals throughout the world with specific suggestions about rituals that would fit easily and comfortably into our busy, and often isolated, modern lives. She gives us a delicious gift of easy to follow "recipes" for rituals that celebrate family life from everyday rituals to rituals that support families moving through all the major transitions of life.Sidra & Hal Stone, authors of "Partnering: A New Kind of Relationship"
