Bring the presence of the Goddess into your daily spiritual practice with Goddess Meditations , a book of 73 unique guided meditations created for women and men who want to find a place of centeredness and serenity in their lives, both alone and in groups, either in rituals or informally.

Call on a Hestia for a house blessing ... the White Buffalo Calf Woman for help in learning from your mistakes ... Aphrodite for love and pleasure ... Kuan Yin for compassion. Although it’s directed toward experienced meditators, this book includes guidelines for beginners about breathing, safety, and grounding, as well as instructions for rituals and constructing an altar.

Also featured is the powerful "Goddess Pillar Meditation," based on the Qabalistic Middle Pillar Meditation; nine Great Goddess meditations that address issues such as protection, community, and priestess power; and seven meditations that link goddesses to the chakras.


Goddess Meditations Reviews

    I think that this book is beautiful and well written. The meditations are absolutely uplifting.

    My only peeve is that I wanted to close my eyes and drift away, but I would have to re-read a part of it to keep on track.

    My thoughts how this book will work well is that you need to record yourself with nice music in the background... allowing the meditation to flow (rather than being stuck with the book.) Other than that minor setback, it was a nice book.

    I enjoyed that this book is for beginners and experienced meditations alike. It was nice.

    An excellent read just what I was looking for even though I did not know it. There is something about ancient knowledge that brings clarity to the mind

    I have a closet full of witchcraft books that I have been slowly working through and most of them were purchased in the early 2000's, which would include this one. I had never read it before, probably because when I bought it I was not actually into meditation. But now I am so I was excited to dive into this one.

    So, bluntly, this is a 50/50 for me.

    I found some of the meditations to be very useful and powerful for me, personally. I recorded most of them on my phone so I could listen to them with ease and the process of recording them was even powerful. However, I fear this is one of those books that didn't age very well. In 1999 we were not worried about cultural appropriation and there were definitely cringy parts of this book.

    That being said, it's worth looking into if you want to deepen a meditation practice.
