exquisite mystical prose-poem

This is a hauntingly beautiful book. I came to witchcraft through Rae's first book, Hedge Witch, and waited a long time before buying her second. I admit this took me far longer to get into, and indeed I cannot go along with everything she says. I like my religion practical, and she endorses ideas I have little truck with, such as Atlantis. But this is a humble, generous, mystical book, exquisitely written and full of insight. I respect her enough to be able to put my prejudices aside. Unlike the vast majority of pagan writing these days, this book is, in my opinion, genuinely profound. Many paragraphs are prose-poems of astonishing beauty. I recommend it highly as a companion to Hedge Witch, and as a thought-provoking volume in its own right.

very good but a little dry at first

the begginning of this book was pretty boring but it did get better as i got more and more into it. i enjoyed all the differnet info on the goddesses, and the past life exercises.

Definitely worth buying...

Rae Beth has written what seems to me the most accurate and well-thought out explanations of varying dark goddesses that I've seen. I loved reading about her past life experiences. This book is purely fascinating.

An Amazing Book!

This book is awesome. It's beautifully written, and has information on goddesses from many traditions. This book, unlike some other goddess-oriented books, really did balance the feminine and masculine elements and honor them equally, she dosen't place the goddess over the god. I found the section on her visions and pastlife memories very interesting. And there are some really great rituals in here too. I highly reccomend this book!
