I did not really expect to be convinced by Jerri Studebaker’s book about finding signs of ancient Goddess worship in fairy tales. I’m just not the sort of person who is easily persuaded by much, and the sleight of hand history of Dr Anne Ross, and the chicanery of Robert Graves . . . → Read More: Breaking the Mother Goose Code, by Jeri Studebaker

Trees speak deeply to our human collective unconscious, as symbols of otherworld connection, longevity, nourishment, and the mysteries of transformation.

This book wasn’t what I was expecting. Many reviewers out there are focusing on a handful of All Acts of Love & Pleasure: Inclusive Wicca’s qualities, either because they are personally invested in the LGBTQ aspect (as am I) or because gender and sexuality in the Craft are hot topics in . . . → Read More: All Acts of Love and Pleasure: Inclusive Wicca, by Yvonne Aburrow

I recently had the pleasure of ordering Swain Wodening’s book Path to the Ancestors: Exploring Ancestor Worship within Modern Germanic Heathenry from Lulu.com. At 62 pages (not counting the glossary and bibliography) it’s a quick read, but that should not be mistaken for being light on information. Rather, it is succinct . . . → Read More: Path to the Ancestors, by Swain Wodening

Karen Tate is masterful at weaving together a diverse tapestry of voices on her weekly radio show, Voices of the Sacred Feminine.

I’m curious about meditative practices outside of a religious framework and ritual observance. I also wonder about those that, as D. F. Bailey’s encourages, expect one to empty the mind. So, the author’s invitation to review his short (e-book as a Kindle) study offered me a chance to learn more.

Often when picking up a book that calls itself an introduction, I expect to find pages that skim the surface and give a smattering of very basic information.
