I recently purchased this book and I found it to be very good. It has
rituals for the rites of passage, several pagan myths and a how to for
teaching meditation and pastoral counseling. The pastoral counseling
section is just a basic lesson that focuses on listening which is the
hallmark of a good counselor. Chapters 17 and 18 are about the God-
dess and the source of All. I found these two chapters the most
interesting. An excerpt from chapter 17: "To those of the Wiccan
faith, woman is not corrupt, sex is not corrupt and life is not
corrupt. Rather Divinity is manifested in all of them. Therefore to us,
women is to be honored as a representation of the Goddess, not
regulated to the role of temptress and evil. From the union of God and
Goddess, Male Female, Life emerged. This Mystery of generation is a
Holy Mystery, a cosmic act, and it is in our nature to enjoy this
sacred act without guilt or shame. All acts of love and pleasure are
Her Rituals." This paragraph really speaks to the core of my beliefs
and it is the main reason I walk this path now. I feel that this book
is a must have for all that want to be clergy.
