This is a great book for everyone who is interested in goddess worship or in praying the rosary, especially if you're not catholic or even christian. The authors are very critical, when it comes to the church and any formalized, patriarchal, or hierarchical form of religion. Nevertheless this book talks a lot about christian mythology in relation to Mary and you should be aware of that. This book also talks about Mary as a form of the divine feminine in its entirety. In fact this is one of the key messages of the authors. The authors talk about their own experiences with spirituality and with the Holy Mother. Clark Strand even claims to have encounters with Mary and to get messages from her. Many of them you can find in this book. Too be true, I'm not sure what I think about this. I've never been interested in any channeled messages. When it comes to this book and the messages it holds, for me it is not important if they come from Mary herself or not, as the messages are by and large beautiful, wholesome and helpful and that is what is important in the end. I do not like everything about this book. Even though I share the critic about the catholic church and unhealthy parts of other religious groups, I don't like how this believe systems are damned as a whole. I don't like how often Alcoholics Anonymous are mentioned. My pet peeve is how praying the rosary is – in a way - presented as a miracle cure for everything (pun intended). All in all I liked this book and I will give praying the rosary a chance. I've been raised catholic, but I'm a pagan witch for more than 25 years now and through all the years I haven't lost my connection to Mary. For me she is a Goddess, she is a manifestation of the divine or the divine feminine if you want to put it that way. This book hasn't brought me as much new insights as it may bring someone who hasn't worked with the goddess yet, but it has reminded me of the time when I first got to know the goddess in her many forms and how enlightened that was. Above all I think that praying the rosary is a beautiful devotional practice, even though I will use altered prayers for obvious reasons.
