The Goddess

Circle Round

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


Daughters of the Full Moon Tarot Deck
Ffiona Morgan

Full colour, $42.95/book $15.95

Daughters of the Moon Tarot

The Alphabet Versus the Goddess: The Conflict Between Word and Image
Leonard Shlain

In The Alphabet Versus the Goddess, Leonard Shlain proposes that the rise of alphabetic literacy sparked a reconfiguration of the human brain, and brought about profound changes in history, religion and gender relations. He goes on to describe a colossal paradigm shift (what he calls the iconic revolution) which began in the nineteenth century with the reemergence of the image with the development of photography, television, video, computers, advertising, and graphics — a shift in dominance from the left hemisphere of the brain to the right. Image information has been gradually superseding print information, he argues, and with the resulting social revolution women have benefitted as society shifts to embrace feminine values. I hope he's right. Paperback, $20.99


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. Now in paperback. $20.00

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.

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.
