5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Daily Meditation/Prayer Book, October 16, 2001

I consider myself to be a Christian woman but I believe in the female (as well as the male) divine. I have always had daily prayer time when I also read from scripture. I initially ordered this book because it is a requirement for a class I am taking. What a gem this book is! The daily meditations can be followed by date or you can let God/Goddess lead you. Not only do you learn about a different Goddess each day but you learn about a corresponding world holiday/observance. There are also mini-rituals (not weird at all) that you can do if you please. For example the suggestions for the Goddess that I read about today were to give food to a local pantry and/or sprinkle grain around your home for the birds to lift up your thoughts and prayers to the female divine. If you are a Christian and have felt drawn to learn about the feminine/female divine but are afraid to, this is a great book to start with. Nothing threatening at all. Give it a try.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a joy! Imbues each day with magic and meaning., February 4, 1999

By 

Lisa Mason (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 365 Goddess: A Daily Guide to the Magic and Inspiration of the Goddess (Paperback)

In a world where our dreams and culture are shaped by Big Money interests, what a joy to rediscover and reaffirm the rich cultural diversity of our planet and the pervasiveness of the goddess throughout the world. The small daily rituals that anyone may perform lend magic and meaning to each day. I look forward in the morning to which goddess comes next (and haven't cheated by looking ahead yet!) A brilliant concept, Ms. Telesco, wonderfully executed and fascinating. More icing on an already nourishing cosmic cake? If you publish another edition and your publisher gives you more page space, please include an illustration or symbol of each goddess.

This review is from: 365 Goddess: A Daily Guide to the Magic and Inspiration of the Goddess (Paperback)

This is the best little book on daily Goddesses that I have come across. A Goddess for every day with Her symbols and a way to honer Her. It is not a year calander so can be used every year. It just lists day and months. If you are in any of the Goddess honoring religions this is a must have book.
