Maiden Magick [Paperback]

C C Brondwin (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2003

Chock full of Goddess information, personal encouragement, and hip humor, this book speaks directly to the teen reader, embracing and honoring her as a true Spiritual Seeker drawn to the Goddess tradition and eager to learn to walk her path. Maiden Magick answers that often-voiced need from today's teens for a clear, step-by-step guidebook to Goddess spirituality and Celtic magick. Author C.C. Brondwin was raised by healers and mystics in the ancient Clan tradition, and she learned her craft as it was handed down from mother-to-daughter. She serves as the teen's personal Elder, or Celtic Clan Mother and delivers one-on-one instruction with compassion, respect, and a dash of playful humor for a teen embarking on the novice phase of her lifelong spiritual journey. The teen apprentice is encouraged to believe in herself and her own natural powers, and to walk the Goddess path with confidence.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good Intent...I suppose, July 1, 2004

By

This review is from: Maiden Magick (Paperback)

I bought this book thinking it would be a lovely, thorough introduction to the Celtic Goddess path (of which I am highly interested) but I was wrong. The only good thing about this book is that the author stresses the idea that the Goddess is in every teenage girl and to get rid of guilt and stress. The rest of the book is utter rubbish. Not only does she give historical information that has no back up (such as the idea that the Celts only worshipped a Goddess), she does not give what to do in a ritual but says that it is important, acts as though the Celtic Goddess path is the best path for anyone to follow, and does not give thorough information on what magic(k), the Sabbats, and many other things are. As a teenage Wiccan ,I am always looking for books for teenagers interested in Wicca and witchcraft, and I have to say that this was a waste of time. I didn't even finish the book and am sending it back to amazon. If you want to read a good book for teens on witchcraft, read Where to Park Your Broomstick: A Teenager's Guide to Witchcraft instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goddess Worthy!, November 15, 2005

This review is from: Maiden Magick (Paperback)

I was drawn to this book and picked it up while I was out of town visiting friends. I wasn't sure what I was looking for, but what I found was a spiritually uplifting little book. I also had a bad childhood, so I would say I bought it as sort a comfort item for my inner child. It definitly worked! This book doesn't have a lot of Witchy stuff. It just helps uplift a young (or not so young) woman's spirit and remind her the Goddess is always there for her.

Now that I have read it I actually have several teens in my space that are looking for some guidance. I feel very good about exposing them to this book. I don't believe in recruiting and I don't feel that's what this book does. It is simply a spiritual support for an unsure teen that will help them feel more like choosing a spiritual path on their own.

I will probably give a copy to my sister for her inner child also;-)

5.0 out of 5 stars very well done, August 7, 2003

This review is from: Maiden Magick (Paperback)

Though I am only half way through the book, Maiden Magick has been a very positive experience for me. I highly recommend Maiden Magick to adolescents interested in learning the way of the Goddess. With her love and knowledge, C.C Brondwin does an extraordinary job of making the reader feel comfortable, highly respected and loved while teaching you to be true to yourself and to bring Goddess love into the hearts of others. I give this book a well deserved 5 stars :)
