Goddess Spirituality Book, Rituals, Holydays and Moon Magic, By Ffiona Morgan Tells us all how to attract who and what we want in our lives. The book was previously published as "Wild Witches Donít Get the Blues" and it seems that Ffiona is the Wild Witch. She comes to her title naturally, due to her Welsh heritage. Her name "Ffiona" symbolizes "light of the moon" and "Morgan" is the Goddess of darkness, visions, automatic writing and things that are not possible. Morgan will pick you as her own, as she picked Ffiona. Her "bio" goes on to say, "She loves to read, loves to write, (lucky us), as well as radical feminism, dancing, singing, wild country and wild women."
From the beginning, Ffiona clearly states her vision and intention by "writing the book exclusively in "the female" as a step in reclaiming ourselves." She goes on to state that, "We as women, have been omitted, erased and made invisible in the language, history and cultures of our peoples." She invites us all to discover the power of being a woman, of knowing the Goddess, and celebrating the Mother Earth and her cycles. Ffiona offers us her wisdom and shares with us not only how to do magic successfully, but the ability to use it properly within the light. She also shares with us, her deepest thoughts. "While writing this chapter, (Chapter 4, The Sacred wheel of the Year) I realized that the structure and the system of "The Wheel" pays and inordinate amount of attention to celebration of the light, and very little to the celebration of the dark. In order to create a non-racist woman spirit, this must be changed. If Summer Solstice(longest day) was a celebration of the "Light" then Winter Solstice(longest night) must have been a celebration of the Dark to our foremothers and should be celebrated as such. The lack of attention to the dark is "whitewashing" in the broadest sense and is inherent in the structure of Wicce. Therefore, feminist Wicce, which is a facet of tradition Wicce, should also be examine for racism."
I highly recommend this book to all women, especially those recently curious about their own spirituality, not to mention Magic! I also recommend it to those of us who have already chosen a path; it is an excellent book.
