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.

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.

I concider myslef a very well-read Pagan. Over time, I have learned how to distinguish the fact from the author's imagination. And, I have to say, most of this book fell under the latter catogory.

It's so childish, and demening to Paganisam. The author did not even get her facts straight with regaurds to the origin of Goddess Religions. To me, it sounded like she was saying
" Oh, everything went fine and well while we belived in and worshipped the Earth Mother. Everything was about Women. But, then some evil jerks with their One True Man God came along and ruined it all. the end."
Really, the origins of the Earth Mother ("Gaia") are much harder to trace then she made it seem. In fact, most ( if not all) of the aincent people belived in Panthons ( Many Gods). The author also called Panthons something like Paetheons... Odd. Maybe I am just misinformed, but whatever.
It did have a few alright excrsises in the book to get closer to the Goddess, though.. Some of them where just downright perverted. " Get in frount of a mirror, take your clothes off, then with a friend or by yourself, get some body paint, and paint eachother."
But, that's just my oppinion.
So, if you're looking for a misinformitive book, buy this.
If not, I reccomend looking at "Drawing Down the Moon" by Margret Alder to learn the true roots of modern Paganisam and Goddess worship.
