There are physical and psychological experiences and rites of passage common to all women's lives, crossing the boundaries of age, class, culture, race, sexual orientation, and religion.
While women have a great hunger for ritual to reflect the events in their lives, they often do not know how to begin.
For many, the very thought of creating their own rituals is too intimidating, and instead wait for others to take the lead, or simply suppress their own needs, desires, and dreams.
Consequently, many women lead lives that too often are physically, emotionally, and spiritually unfulfilled.
Finally, comes an author that seeks to provide women with the tools to address and fulfill their own needs for meaning that is sourced from their own intuitive knowing.
Together, with open minds and hearts, we can learn to shape chaos and human needs into works of great power and beauty.
Women's Rites, Women's Mysteries is a practical and magical, one-of-a-kind guide and resource for both creating and facilitating Goddess and female-centered rituals.
Written for individuals and groups, both beginners and experienced ritualists alike, Dianic High Priestess and seasoned ritualist Ruth Barrett guides women through a unique step-by-step process, with practices that weaves personal need with an individual or group's intuitive creativity.
Barrett demystifies the components of how to design and facilitate an effective ritual for any significant occasion, seasonal holy day, or life-cycle event.
Unique from other books on ritual, Barrett emphasizes energetics for ritual, delving into the awareness and conscious working of energy to intentionally align, support, and carry out the ritual's purpose.
From personal energetic preparation, preparation for group ritual facilitators and participants, Barrett provides practices and suggestions for this important and often overlooked aspect of the ritual experience.
Women's Rites, Women's Mysteries is specifically not a didactic ritual cookbook, that t.
