Women's Spirituality The Spirit of Intimacy Sobonfu Some An eloquent teacher who was chosen before birth by ancestral spirits to preserve and teach the Dagara wisdom from West Africa, this author leads workshops throughout North America and Europe guiding students into a deeper understanding of ritual and community, women's mysteries and the role of spirit in marital intimacy. Her no-nonsense critique of modernity and her down-to-earth conveyance of African teachings on love and community make this a straightforward, humourous and sometimes painfully poignant read. $14.95. Eternal Echoes John O'Donohue The second volume in a Celtic trilogy that began with Anam Cara is a resonant, often poetic, beautifully wrtitten exploration of the longing within us - the divine retlessness in the human heart, our eternal echo of longing that lives deep within us and never lets us settle for what we have or where we are. In this book, John O'Donohue invites us to explore our inner landscape through themes such as belonging as ancient longing, the adventure to wonder, prayer as spiritual belonging, absence as the loss of belonging and moving towards new horizons of the heart's dream. $19.00. Sins of the Spirit, Blessings of the Flesh Matthew Fox In this major new work, visionary theologian Matthew Fox shows how spirit and flesh are entwined in a felicitous and nourishing bond. He identifies the "sins of the spirit" that betray the glorious possibility of all life, and he illuminates the "blessings of the flesh" (human and in a wider sense) that give rise to our spirituality. He compares the seven deadly sins of Western theology with the shadow side of the seven chakras taught in Eastern philosophy. A blueprint for individual renewal and real-world activism. $22.50. Exploring the Labyrinth Melissa West More and more people are using the labyrinth -- an ancient spiral maze that leads to the centre and back out again -- as a meditative and healing tool. Pyschotherapist Melissa West presents this comprehensive handbook which talks about working with this ancient archetype, learning to construct your own labyrinth by using a variety of readily available materials and discovering ways to use the labyrinth for rituals, celebrations, spiritual work and creativity enhancement. $23.00. The Invitation Oriah Mountain Dreamer ... I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive... $24.50. When the Drummers were Women A Spiritual History of Rhythm Layne Redmond An inspiring history of feminine power and spirituality. Proof that rhythm is our mother tongue. $27.00. Living a Sacred Life: 365 Meditations and Celebrations Robin Heerens Lysne A paperback version of a book originally published as Sacred Living. Beginning with the Winter Solstice, the book offers affirmations for everyday, simple ceremonies, with suggestions and meditations on how to best make the ordinary extraordinary. $21.50. You may also enjoy Robin's previous book, Dancing Up The Moon ($8.95 from WonderWorks), a practical guide for creating traditions and ceremonies in everyday life. The Goddess Companion: Daily Meditations on the Feminine Spirit Patricia Monaghan Engage you feminine spirit each day of the year...here are hundreds of authentic goddess prayers, invocations, chants and songs -- one for each day of the year. They come from dozens of sources, ranging from the great classical European authors Ovid and Horace to the marvelously passionate Hindu poets Ramprasad and Ramakrishna to the anonymous gifted poets who first composed the folksongs of Lithuania, West Africa and Alaska. In fresh, contemporary language that maintains the spirit of the originals, these prayers can be used for personal meditation, for private or public ritual, or for your own creative inspiration. They capture the depth of feeling, the philosophical complexity, and the ecological awareness of goddess cultures the world over. It's A Meaningful Life Bo Lozoff Co-founder of the Human Kindness Foundation and its Prison-Ashram Project, Bo Lozoff has brought spiritual practice and resources to thousands of people behind bars. His street-wisdom, humour, huge heart, and practical hands have been distilled into this lovely book which helps each of us discover the "vast lane" in an era when the "fast lane" seems to have taken over the whole highway of life.The roots of happpiness, he says, are not found in the search for success or self-improvement but in a commitment to a personal spiritual practice ("The Inner Journey of Communion") combined with the outward practice of compassion and unselfish service to others ("The Outer Path Toward Community"). Bo's emphasis on doing something, his get-to-the-heart-of-it and keep-it-simple sanity, and his open heart resonate through this book.$33.99. Circle Round: Raising Children In the Goddess Tradition Starhawk, Diane Baker, Anne Hill New ways to honour a sense of togetherness through celebrations that honour the sacredness of life and our Mother Earth. Full of stories, songs, rituals, crafts, and cooking projects. A book for every member of the family. $22.95. The Spiral Dance Starhawk A rebirth of the ancient religion of the great goddess -- rituals, invocation, exercises and magic. The influential masterwork that launched the American Goddess movement is even more popular and relevant than ever -- a bestselling spiritual classic. This brilliant overview of the growth, suppression, and modern-day remergence of Wicca as a goddess-worshipping religion has left an indelible mark on the feminist spiritual consciousness. In this beautiful 20th-anniversary edition, Starhawk now reveals the ways in which the practice of ritual and Goddess religion have, in the face of a changing world, developed over the last 20 years -- and the ways in which these changes have influenced and enhanced her original ideas. This important spiritual guidebook provides both the tools of ancient practice and the means to adapt them to our lives today -- for, according to Starhawk, "a living tradition is not static or fixed; it changes and responds to changing needs and changing times." $25.00. The Millionth Circle: How To Change Ourselves and the World Jean Shinoda Bolen Everywhere women of all ages are forming grassroots groups to meet and discuss their needs, interests, joys and troubles. This is an inspiring book that explores the visionary possibility that women's circles are a means of accelerating humanity's shift to a post patriarchial era. $22.95. Jean Shinoda Bolen is also the author of other WonderWorks favorites: Goddesses in Everywoman ($20.00); Gods in Everyman ($18.50); Crossing To Avalon ($19.50); and Close to the Bone($15.50). Back to top Our Lady of Guadalupe Francisco Serrano Pictures by Felipe Dávalos "This sophisticated pop-up book for ages 5 and up presents an iconic image of the Virgin that will appeal to all those who look to her as a religious, political or cultural force." -- The Children's Bookwatch (Midwest book Review). $19.95. Earthtime, Moontime Rediscovering the Sacred Lunar Year Annette Hinshaw Technology has evolved a long way since the dawn of our species, but our bodies still respond to the cycles of the Earth and the shorter cycles of the Moon. We are born with a natural wisdom that we have forgotten how to tap. Many of our current ills are a result of our attempts to operate contrary to that inner wisdom. It's not too late to repair the damage caused by our alienation from the Earth. Earthtime, Moontime will immerse you in an ancient understanding of the world, a way based on harmony with the Mother and acceptance of all her cycles. Through the lunar calendar of ancient Celtic and Germanic pagans, you will discover an alternate astrology based on the Moon rather than the Sun. You will learn of the special qualities and challenges of people who are born under the influences of each named moon. As you begin to revere the cycles of Nature, you will initiate a healing of the deep division between spirit and body, male and female, and the earth and its inhabitants. $18.50. The Bond Between Women China Galland Galland reveals the hidden current that runs through the world's wisdom traditions -- a dark, positive, feminine energy represented by such striking symbolic figures as the Tibetan Guddhist Tara, the Black Madonna of Catholicism, and the Hindu Kali. Weaving strands of her own personal story throughout, Gallands visits and reports on the actions of women across the globe who represent this energy of the firece feminine. 1998's number one seller at WonderWorks.

Positive Magic Marion Weinstein This book tells you everything you wanted to know about magic but were afraid to ask. Magic is often associated with the negative concepts of black magic. This is unfortunate because magic is actually like a miracle. People have been trained to think that miracles just don't happen. But they do happen. We must simply learn to spot them and to expect them. Weinstein is a scholar who offers us a very clear explanation of the knowledge system that pre-dates science as we know it. She uncovers the roots of magic in various traditions. Her discussions include topics such as the Tarot, the I Ching, Karma, Words of Power, astrology, the Kabbalah, alchemy and the gnostic tradition. $13.95. A Spiritual Dowsing Sig Longre A pendulum helps you to focus and receive messages from that inner place where we are connected to all the answers.
