How to Be a Goddess: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Women

Rating:
Summary: Positive Role Models from the Past
Review: This is not a pagan book. The book is about positive role models found in the Goddesses of old. It is a book of positive affirmations for the modern woman.

The book looks at six Greek Goddesses, their myths and their roles as women in that culture. The author then explores how these Goddess can be interpreted in today's modern world. The author tells the story of each of the Goddesses. She lists their associations and attributes.

The author then discusses how these attributes can be blended into everyday life. She finds inspiration in the lives of these women from myth, and uses their strengths to draw upon every day's challenges.

Using Athena's wisdom to decipher your skills, or Artemis' integrity for your core values are just some of the examples the author uses in this book. I find her vision of these role models to be unique and interesting. And her follow through of showing how these attributes and lessons apply to everyday life is fresh and exciting.

While this is not a book on religion, or paganism, the material addressed here relates to what we follow as values in our lives. It does not take a religious experience to see the lessons the ancient ones left for us to learn from.

This is good book to explore how the Goddesses relate to your own personal life and your own personal inner strengths. boudica
