Customer Reviews

Great information

The book is great and in good repair. The only thing is that the cover of the book I received didn't match the cover advertised. Most importantly though, all the information was the same. It's just that those little things can drive me nuts. :-)

a wonderful start to the Triple Goddess

This book is great for finding your own path to the Triple Goddess and explains how we can learn from the myths from many diffrent places, it's a wonderful wonderful beginning for your search to the Triple Goddess. I highly recommend it to anyone curious and drawn to the Triple Goddess aspect.

I don't understand all the negative reviews; it's a beautiful book.

I love this book. This is the first book I ever read dealing with any kind of Paganism. That was eleven years ago. I still refer to it, and would recommend it to anyone interested in exploring the Goddess. The meditations and rituals are beautiful. The myths and legends are well presented and as detailed as one can expect from such a short book on such a broad topic. It's true that it deals only with the Goddess, rather than Paganism in general. What would someone expect from the title alone? Personally, I think it's an excellent book and a wonderful addition to any collection.

The Goddess in all her aspects explained

Ms. Conway is one of my favorite authors and with this book she really hits home. She expains the three aspects of the triple Goddess in detail, complete with myths and lore. The untrue myth that the dark goddess is all about gloom and doom is completely shattered in the section on the Crone. The Goddess is to be respected in all her aspects and is essential to birth, death and rebirth. This book also contains meditations to meet with and understand all three of the Sacred Mother's faces. A definite keep in my library!

A wonderful read.

This book is a wonderful intro to the mysteries of the Goddess, it gives very clear insight into seeing how She works in and which aspects apply to situations in our daily lives. This book makes one want to delve more deeply into Goddess lore and legend I highly recommend it.
