5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource!, April 25, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book is a great resource for students of anthropology as well as artists and craftspeople. Includes extensive amounts of information on hard to find topics such as the pagan spiritual implications of specific design motifs and their relevance to seasonal rituals. Artists would find that these motifs, while traditional to textiles, would translate nicely to number of mediums.

Kelly discusses at length several Slavic goddesses rarely (if ever) mentioned by books considered to be in the "canon" of mythology. One can more easily find literature on gods such as Perun, and so it is nice to finally see more attention given to the "divine feminine" of the Slavs.
