5.0 out of 5 stars Love it, September 13, 2004

This review is from: The Ultimate Guide to Goddess Empowerment, The (Hardcover)

With the breezy cover reminiscent of the covers of "chick lit" novels, and the fact that Sophia's previous books have been for the most part fun and lighthearted spellbooks, "Goddess Empowerment" might seem at a surface glance to be cute, harmless, and maybe a little fluffy.

Nope.

This is actually one of the best books I've seen lately on the pagan shelves. It features many goddesses from around the world. Each goddess's section includes a brief look at her history, an invocation to her, a meditation to help you get in touch with her, and finally a beautifully written ritual to bring her influence into your life. For example, Venus's ritual attracts love, while Hecate's brings justice against wrongdoers, and Oshun's accentuates your beauty. Each section includes poetry written by Sophia, obviously well-researched, because it is wholly new but uses the phrases and general style of each goddess's ancient hymns.

The best comparison I can come up with for this book is that it reminds me of Kala Trobe's "Invoke the Goddess", except that Sophia's book is more verbal while Trobe's is more visual.

Quite good. You'll be copying huge chunks of it into your BOS.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended, July 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Ultimate Guide to Goddess Empowerment, The (Hardcover)

"The Ultimate Guide to Goddess Empowerment" by Sophia is simply wonderful. If you are interested in learning more about the great goddesses (or, the goddess in her manifold forms) and/or learning about the magical path and its relation to the goddesses, you will be glad that you have this book as a reference guide...

I've read two other books by Sophia and must say that I truly appreciate her clear, straightforward, and supportive style and admire her considerable store of wisdom and knowledge...

This book is well-researched and offers much for both beginner and 'seasoned' practitioner.
