Amazon.co.uk Review
Prayers, poems and songs to the Goddess from around the world and across the ages have been collected and adapted for the modern devotee in The Goddess Companion: Daily Meditations on the Feminine Spirit. Author Patricia Monaghan offers a disparate meditation for each day of the year, including 29 February. For 5 April there is a Lithuanian folk song; 6 August a quotation from Proverbs; 17 October a Korean shaman's chant. After each prayer is a two-paragraph "thought for the day" in which Monaghan offers the reader philosophical observations or helpful advice designed to assist living and growing in the spirit of the feminine. The very pretty purple and gold-embossed cover makes it an bedside table companion, and the gentle meditations are an stress-reducing way to begin or end your day by honouring the Goddess and Her spirit in yourself. --P Randall Cohan
