Mary Faulkner has put together a wonderful book of women's spirituality information. The book answers many of the questions we ask about goddesses, The Goddess, magick, priestesses and other wonderful women. For those just starting a spiritual journey, its newsy style covers the basics and gives concise facts. I like the way it can be read from front to back, or you can just open to any page and find something interesting.I am not usually fond of "Idiot's Guides," but THIS one is definitely worth being on the bookshelf with all my other Womens' Spirituality reference books! I own a metaphysical bookstore, Seasons in the Sun, and will certainly be carrying and spot-lighting Mary Faulkner's book.
Powerful and Fun

I picked up this book at my friend's house and couldn't put it down--it is awesome! I have always been interested in learning more about (women's) spirituality but frankly, I was afraid of it being too witch-y or occult-ish. It is neither! The author is clear from the beginning to the end about what is good, clean, healthy earth/goddess worship and what it isnt. She offers several quick ceremonies or ideas about how to get started which I found helpful.Being Christian, I also appreciated that she never slammed or talked bad about Christianity. The list of resources and bibliograpy is impressive and now I can follow up on other authors or ideas.

this book is exactly what I have been searching for! I have dabbled in Earth Religion/Goddess Worship but never quite felt like I "got it," but now thanks to the author, I not only "have it" I am it!!This book offers a broad spectrum of the wonderful world of Pre-Christianity--one that included and celebrated Womankind. I cannot wait to bring it to share at my next women's group and I have already begun reading it to my nine year-old daughter at bedtime.Besides being spiritually based, I gained alot of historical and social information too. The author adds humor and a refreshing outlook that kept me so interested that I read the entire book over the past weekend!!Hats off to Mary Faulkner--thanks for the Her-story lesson!
