Life Changing!

Weaving the Visions is one of those rare books that changed my life! It totally turned my spiritual worldview upside down--from patriarchal Christianity to an appreciation of the Goddess worshipping religions and how to incorporate the feminine loving side of paganism into Christianity, Judaism and other faiths. I would highly recommend this book to any religious person, feminist person and anyone else looking to be blown away! :)

Comprehensive Overview

This book, edited by Judith Plaskow and Carol Christ, is an overview of current trends in Feminist Spirituality. This volume attempts to cover many different forms of feminist spirituality including Judaism, Christianity, Pagan, and Native American. It also examines various trends and special areas that are of a concern in feminist theology. Being as comprehensive as it is, I was disappointed that there was no mention of Islam within the book. For me, that was the difference between 4 stars and 5 stars.

Every woman should read this :)

I read this for class. The professor was um, psycho, but I learned a LOT from this book. It opened my eyes to the Goddess in all of us. I learned much more about our heritages and highly recommend this read.

For all womyn, regardless of religion

The absolute best aspect of this book is the fact that it is so broad in its coverage of Feminist Spirituality. Not only does it contain contributions from some of the most widely known feminists of our age: Audre Lorde, Carol Christ, and so on, but Christianity, Catholicism, Judaism, Goddess Spirituality etc. are fully explored from the feminist perspective. I was raised Catholic and am now Pagan and this is the book that I gave to my mother (who considers herself a feminist) to help her understand where I am at spiritually and how we are not necessarily so far apart in our faiths. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in Womyn's Spirituality.
