Linder presents the spinster archetype in a brand-new light, transforming her into the spinstress—a strong and confident figure who has evolved beyond the expectations of a male-dominated culture.
This guide to becoming a spinstress gives you an arsenal of meditations, spells, rituals, recipes, rites, blessings, and more.
With it, you can be more confident, improve your wellness, and find balance in life. To find out why reasonable people are drawn to the seemingly bizarre practices of magic and witchcraft, Tanya Luhrmann immersed herself in the secret lives of Londoners who call themselves magicians.
She came to know them as friends and equals and was initiated into various covens and magical groups. She explains the process through which once-skeptical individuals—educated, middle-class people, frequently of high intelligence—become committed to the ideas behind witchcraft and find magical ritual so compellingly persuasive. This intriguing book draws some disturbing conclusions about the ambivalence of belief within modern urban society.

For the first time in English, Benebell Wen reveals the rich history and theoretical principles underlying the ancient practice of crafting Fu talismans, or magical sigils, in the Chinese Taoist tradition and gives detailed instructions for modern practitioners who would like to craft their own Fu. Fu talismans are ideograms and writings typically rendered on paper and empowered by means of invocations, ritual, and transferences of energy, or Qi.
Talismans can be used for many purposes, such as strengthening or weakening personality characteristics, finding love, earning more money, or easing emotional tensions in the home. The black-emerald water swirled and broke in many silver gleamings. From the misty center of the pool rose a vast but beautiful head. The long dripping hair was not hair, but had a rippling life of its own.
The great lonely eyes and wide scarlet mouth were far more lovely than any human's. The gleaming green shoulders and shapely long arms ended in graceful webbed fingers. The red tipped breasts were proud, naked mounts. Just love. I looove the golden kali meditation!! I have done it almost every day for a couple of weeks and it gives me so much courage and love.

Pros: Really insightful writing abut the concept of the dark goddess and the role that she plays in our ever evolving womanhood. Merideth clearly points out and gives meaning to the hard times that inevitably befall us in our journey. The dark goddess as described by Merideth, characterizes and embodies all of the fear,sorrow,tragedy and pain we feel and experience. We unwillingly are plunged into the underworld sometimes with ignored warnings other times abruptly. Our former self is killed off, Pros: Really insightful writing abut the concept of the dark goddess and the role that she plays in our ever evolving womanhood.
Our former self is killed off, never to return the same if ever. Ultimately we begin our rise from the dark once we accept the ways of the underworld i. Acceptance of the shadow side of ourselves and the underworld yields deeper and more meaningful lessons so when we do begin our ascent back to the light, we are brought back or "reborn" with the learned principles of the dark.
Cons: I understand Merideths use of rituals in helping to make the descent into the underworld a tangible experience whereby we can "visit" and become familiar with the underworld before disaster strikes. The visits are meant to soften the blow of the dark goddess when she arrives so we are "familiar" when we descend. However, I found the rituals peppered throughout each chapter to be distracting to the flow of reading.
The rituals called for stopping, journaling, finding quiet spaces and objects to make the experience. I just wanted to read the principles so and I skipped them. I would've loved for the rituals to be a separate chapter in the back of the book to so the reader could attempt them at a later date. I love the idea around exploring our dark and shadow selves, and although this book seemed to be that, it was not. At least not in the general and practical sense.
I think it might reach and speak to a very particular niche people who have dealt with trauma and are struggling to get past it, as well as wiccans. Personally, I found it all much too dramatic and unnecessary. The writing became extremely repetitive, to the extent that I started skipping pages, and ideas and examples simply I love the idea around exploring our dark and shadow selves, and although this book seemed to be that, it was not.
The writing became extremely repetitive, to the extent that I started skipping pages, and ideas and examples simply weren't complete. The writing and punctuation was confusing at times, several times there were personal recounts that just left me wondering what and why, and even the rituals were largely the same thing over and over.
This is a theme we need to explore more, but this is not the book that will give us that exploration in a practically applicable way. Having said that, I gave it 3 stars because there is value in it, and the first couple of pages were good enough to get the idea across. Apr 07, Antoinette rated it it was amazing Shelves: witches-book-box , books-i-own. I loved this book. I was terrified but excited to maybe go on a journey to the dark goddess, only to find that my antidepressants would interfere.
So it will probably be years before I can purposefully tread into the dark and uncover what's waiting there. I hope the dark G! Nov 10, Melissa rated it it was amazing. This book was difficult to get through. I was not prepared for the level of intensity that this book brings because when I heard others talk about it they made it seem easy, and maybe it was for them. The realisation that I have been in the underworld for most of my life was a hard pill to swallow.
I would recommend this book only to people who are ready to do the work. I would also recommend to read the entire book before doing the descent. Nov 24, Jennifer James rated it it was amazing. What an incredible book! It outlines an in-depth ritual to bring oneself to the underworld and then to ascend again, following the myth of Inanna, the goddess of heaven and earth. I plan to do the ritual soon, and actually feel called to it.
I think I have been in the underworld for years and didn't realize it. I'm so happy to have found a way to bring myself out. Life changing. I already ordered copies to my goddess sisters and will continue to do so in order for this soul wisdom to carry onward. Absolutely beautiful book.

Jun 24, Merissa Archaeolibrarian rated it really liked it. This is a must-have books for anyone's collection, whether they are Pagan or not. At some point in your life, you will make a descent to the Dark Goddess. Whether this is by choice or not is irrelevant. It is also a descent that people will resist and fight but will ultimately lose as they travel downwards.
Without darkness there is no light and life should be about balance. I have made my own descent many times, the first This is a must-have books for anyone's collection, whether they are Pagan or not. I have made my own descent many times, the first one that I am conscious of was 10 years ago.
This book helped me to understand things that I had only touched the surface of. The books contains preparations, meditations and rituals to help you work through your journey. A wonderful book to add to your collection that you will want to read again. Jan 23, K.
Thompson rated it really liked it. I follow the Avalonian path, which this book clearly is not. I came up against a bit of resistance, but pushed through that. I felt that the information was important and that resistance meant a breakthrough was just around the corner. I was right. This is not an easy read by any means. It forces you to take a long look in the mirror and be completely honest. An easy task? Not typically. A necessary one? Feb 14, Jana rated it it was amazing.
I've had this book on my wishlist for quite some time before I decided to buy it and I must say it came exactly at the right time. It wasn't what I was expecting at first, but so much better. It is very insightful, inspiring, and valuable for any woman, who feels there is something "off" in their lives.
Just by reading the book I already changed my perception.
