M. J. Abadie (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2002

Helps teenage girls make direct contact with their inner Goddess energy.

• Includes guided meditations, visualizations, journaling exercises, Goddess games and rituals.

• Represents a culturally diverse selection of Goddess personifications including Egyptian, Afro-Cuban, Asian, North American, Greek, and Roman.

• Complete astrological tables for Sun, Moon, Venus, and Mars enable girls to find their personal goddess allies.

• Written by the author of Love Planets (more than 50,000 sold) and Teen Astrology.

In The Goddess in Every Girl, M. J. Abadie teaches teens to get in touch with their own personal Goddess energy and allies. To the young woman seeking external inspiration for her journey of self-definition, gaining a "big-picture" perspective from the feminine divine can be an incredibly validating experience. To date, though, no book on the market relates these myths of female power to the teen experience. 

In The Goddess in Every Girl, complete astrological tables for Sun, Moon, Venus, and Mars let girls look up their own personal goddess allies in the areas of life purpose, emotions and body awareness, love nature, and energy and passion. With more than 50 activities, such as a guided journey to the Goddess center, directions for keeping a Goddess journal, breathing exercises, meditations, and instructions on how to create a sacred ritual space, The Goddess in Every Girl shows teens how to build a personal pantheon for their own empowerment and self-transformation.

This review is from: The Goddess in Every Girl: Develop Your Teen Feminine Power (Paperback)

This book is written for young women are looking to connect with their own divine feminine energy. It is written in such a way that is thought-provoking, urging readers to challenge what they have previously assumed as the true 'History' of the world. It offers alternative explanations and powerful stories exploring ancient myths, cultures and practices, ultimately offering the reader a balanced perspective on 'Herstory'.
I highly recommend this book!

While I do appreciate the fact that the author wrote a good book about female empowerment through goddess spirituality, I kind of resent that the author went about this empowerment with the intention of blaming patriarchy for everything. Yes, patriarchy is the cause of a lot of problems for women, BUT. You cannot just say "Everything was great until the big bad men with their christianity took over". Because that's incorrect.
Many reviews will tell you that this author is terrible because she is not teaching paganism. I think they're missing the point here: the author is trying to help girls by bringing them closer to the goddess. That's all there is to it; I don't consider this a pagan book. It is a teen self help book and it's a great gift for any girl who you think needs a little bit of guidance in their lives.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a real goddess book, August 21, 2011

By 

Heartland G (Kansas, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Goddess in Every Girl: Develop Your Teen Feminine Power (Paperback)

This is a Christian propaganda book, they hate the goddess and that's why there's a chapter on "The serpent and the goddess" serpents represent venomous liars to them. They're calling Goddess worshipers venomous liars. Also they're sticking their Adam and Eve bible propaganda in it. Most Christians believe that women should be men's slaves and secretly and actively work to take liberty away from women, they have organized efforts to oppose Goddess worship or stick male supremacist or abusive propaganda in Goddess books. Sometimes their secret brotherhoods will even rewrite books written by other authors and make sure you get their "special" copy. Beware and fight back. BTW, some of these brotherhoods monitor your home, bug your house, watch you without your knowledge and consent and may try to harm you. They can and do assault women who try to get away from their male supremacy pyramid scheme.
