How can women turn birthday
parties, baby showers, and other rites of passage into empowering
celebrations brimming with meaning and fiery feminine spirit?
Emphasizing
the Dianic Wiccan tradition, Barrett shows women how they can create
empowering, transformative rituals that strengthen their profound
connection to the Goddess. Instead of providing shortcuts, scripts, or
rote rituals, she teaches women how to think like a ritualist. Step by
step, readers learn the ritual-making process: developing a purpose and
theme, building an altar, preparing emotionally and mentally
(energetics), spellcasting, and more. For beginners or experienced
ritualists, solitaries or groups, this thorough, engaging guide to the
art of ritual-making can help women commemorate every sacred
milestone-from menstruation to marriage to menopause-that touches their
lives.
Praise:
"Ruth Barrett brings her many
years of experience in teaching and priestessing in the Dianic
tradition to this book. Her thoughtfulness, intelligence and depth of
understanding make it a valuable resource and will open a new
perspective for many Pagans."
