It's a kid's book but it's so charming I'm keeping it.

Women's rights and rites combine in a celebration of the Goddess: divination, spells, rituals, and herstory. The Holy Book of Women's Mysteries is s feminist survival guide teaching individual and group witchcraft, women's health and nutrition for strength and power, and the valuable lessons our foremothers have handed down to us.

use amazon 'look inside' to get idea of which rituals go with which month...

The history in this book is very bad; a good review listing reasons why can be found here: http://www.summerlands.com/crossroads/remembrance/_remembrance/holy_book_women.h...

This was not an easy (comfortable?) book to read, but it was very fascinating since I had not actually read a book before on Dianic Wicca. I really had the feeling like I had stepped back in time 35 years (to when most of this material was written) and, perhaps if I was an adult back then (instead of a child/pre-teen) I might have associated more with it. The history enthralled me the most; the background of the author and her mother. There are many chants and spells that are invaluable to have, even if one is not Dianic, so I am glad to have this in my library.

To me, what this book teaches is real witchcraft, or at least it shows you what witchcraft /can/ be.

I read this book years ago, and found it filled with interesting stuff, some of which I actually tried. More than anything, I liked her overall message of taking back your power, rather than allowing other people to create misery in your life.
