A Woman's Book of Rituals & Celebrations
This is a handbook on how to perform sacred ceremonies in the tradition of Goddess spirituality in one's own home with ordinary household items. An annual cycle of celebrations is included, as is advice on how to set up an altar and use simple tools. The author, a practitioner of Wicca (witchcraft), expounds the life-affirming, eco-feminist values of that tradition. Suggestions for rituals and ideas for inventing one's own are given. This is a very interesting and useful account for those who prefer "unencumbered ritual," and for all women who wish to honor and explore feminine spirituality and women's traditions. The only drawback is the author's cutesy tone which is at times irritating. However, the value of the information far outweighs this minor flaw.- Marilyn E.
