I very much loved this book, and I knew I probably would based on who gifted it to me. It's full of quotes, poetry, essay pieces, by women about women, and sided on each page by a piece of women-related art. I was in such awe and wonder reading the whole thing. (

A beautiful, devotional and poetic book pulling from many cultures to speak about, with and to the Goddess. Wonderful for use in rituals, spells and devotions.

Book description

From Sappho to Judy Chicago, from the late Egyptian era to Audrey Flack, this anthology of fine art reproductions and literary excerpts proclaims the strength and majesty of the feminine experience. The images and messages, based on the award-winning Return of the Goddess engagement calendars, remind women of their spiritual heritage, their innate wisdom, the integrity of the female body and its rites of passage, and the growing global community of women who celebrate the return of a feminine deity.
