5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely kit., October 14, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Goddess in a Box (Paperback)

This is truly a lovely kit containing mini incense sticks, a Goddess figurine (which can hold the incense), a workable altar, and a petite book which lists a Goddess and an inspirational paragraph relating to her and to using her energies in your life for each day of the year. I love day-by-day Goddess books; because I'd gone through my other ones, I was so happy to find a new one. I find the figurine and the meditations in the book truly beautiful, calming and inspirational. The kit is definitely worth five stars, but I do have a complaint: I find it too messy to actually use the incense with the Goddess figurine. She "holds" it upright, and although she has a little bowl to catch the ashes, it's so small that in reality the ashes scatter everywhere. Buyers of this kit might want to have a separate mini-incense burner to use, like I do (or just use incense of regular length separately).

4.0 out of 5 stars I love my Goddess in a Box!, July 30, 2002

This review is from: Goddess in a Box (Paperback)

This packet comes with a small goddess statue that acts as an incense burner, 4 sticks of incense, and a very thick, small book of goddess affirmations - heavy on the Native American and more obscure goddesses. The box also turns into an altar. I have always been a big fan on Nancy Blair and really like this concept.

My only bias is that because it is a 365 day book of goddess, I wish all the major goddesses were representated. I agree that mentioning obscure goddess is important, but I think representing the core group is also valid. I would recommend this set to anyone.
