Review

Since the dawn of time, humans have worshipped the feminine face of the divine. Nowadays, many women still feel drawn to goddesses--after all, they often embody admirable priorities, such as respect for nature, protection of children, living with compassion, expression of healthy sexuality, and the pursuit of wisdom. This elaborately illustrated Book of Goddesses offers readers brief summaries of famous goddesses from all traditions and regions of the world, including goddesses of the ancient Aztecs, Celts, Greeks, Egyptians, Hindus, and Tibetans. The idea is for readers to choose a goddess they most identify with, and then flip to the second half of the book where they'll find rituals specific to the goddess of choice. The listing of rituals cover many situations, including infertility, strength during divorce, and generating sexual passion. It even includes a ritual from Ishtar for keeping a lover faithful. (Be prepared to snatch a lock of hair from your partner.) --Tara West
