My first introduction to
Patricia Monaghan has been a wonderful experience in the form of this
book. The author obviously has a deep and abiding respect for The
Craft and bears a reverence for the Goddess that is both warm and
loving. As she gently points out interesting facts such as there
being no evidence of a monotheistic Goddess religion (many die hard
feminist Witches will be shocked by that one, albeit true). Using
such lovely sentiments as "we give birth to our death as we are born,"
Monaghan brings to us a lovely interpretation of the Goddess Path.
Her overviews of different goddesses are lively, vibrant and brilliantly
written. She also includes the valuable addition of Questions and
Activities at the end of each chapter that would be beneficial and
appropriate for either personal or group exploration.
For any group or person
exploring the Path of the Goddess, this book is a wonderful companion.
