5.0 out of 5 stars A Pleasant Surprise..., July 16, 2001

This review is from: The Witch in Every Woman: Reawakening the Magical Nature of the Feminine to Heal, Protect, Create, and Empower (Paperback)

I included this book in my list of books that are empowering to women; though, to be honest, I was a little doubtful when I first purchased it. I had some preconcieved ideas about Laurie Cabot that made me feel reluctant to read her work. I am not a "showy" witch, as I believe that spirituality is something which is personal and not for public display -- Ms. Cabot, is, as many witches know and as she herself admits, a very "visible" witch who likes to dress in formal robes and wear magical jewelry. However, this book taught me to see beyond these differences in approach to witchcraft, and to embrace the special abilities which we, as women, share. This book is suitable for witches and non-witches alike, as Laurie Cabot steps back from the idea of the Witch as a religious figure, and uses her as a metaphor for female empowerment -- as the witch represents society's most deep-seated prejudices against womanhood: sexual freeedom, the power of intuition, and our unique connection to the healing Earth and its cycles. A wonderful read for any woman who wants to awaken her inner "Witch."

5.0 out of 5 stars laurie cabot's best book, November 4, 2000

This review is from: The Witch in Every Woman: Reawakening the Magical Nature of the Feminine to Heal, Protect, Create, and Empower (Paperback)

I have read other books by laurie cabot, and find them to be ok, but this book by far is her best. Shows you how to awaken the witch in yourself, gives you some celtic history told in a fine story manner, and makes you feel proud to be a woman. She shows you the best sides of women that we sometimes forget ourselves, and makes you feel empowered. A must have for all women, even if you're not pagan, still a wonderful addition to your library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Down to earth and empowering, June 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Witch in Every Woman: Reawakening the Magical Nature of the Feminine to Heal, Protect, Create, and Empower (Paperback)

A very well-written, comprehensive book, covering the basics of witchcraft and giving the reader the feeling that magick isn't something that's "up there" but rather something that is accessible to everyone and can easily be a part of your daily life. It aims to help all women get in touch with their 'inner witch' through examples, stories from mainly celtic mythology and through small medidation and divination exercises you can do at home. Highly recommended!
