Book Reviews of The Body Sacred
Book Review: A must-read for all women
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was exactly what I was hoping for. Diane Sylvan has an irreverant, ("my God is a snarky God" being my favorite) yet focused approach to women's issues with their bodies. It really opened my eyes, and it felt like she was writing to me specifically. Her different sections address aspects of the Goddess (Healer, Mother, Dancer, Lover, and Crone) and links them to our bodies, and how we see them. The spells, rituals, and meditations in the book are useful, and directly relate to what it is she's talking about. If you don't have this book and you see it somewhere, get it. I know no women who do not have body issues, and this book helped me break out of the pattern I was in. There were times I cried because she managed to articulate exactly how I was feeling. She comes at this from a slightly feminist perspective, but she is by no means a man hater, and strongly discourages that women take that path even if we think men are to blame. This book inspired me to start change, and brought me closer to my spiritual side. It is an excellent addition, and I believe that you should absolutely read it.
Blessed Be.
Book Review: Every woman should read this book!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Even though I read hundreds of books a year, I have never taken the time to write a review before. Which just shows how strongly I feel about this book. I picked up this book at my local library and boy was I glad I did. This book has changed my life and the way I view myself, my body, and my emotions. Even though it is written by a Wiccan author, I can see any woman, Wiccan or not taking away something positive from this book and using it in their own lives. If you have ever had any body issues, please, please read this book. It does not matter what that issue is, if you think you are too fat, too skinny, too short, too tall... this book is for you!!Book Review: A MUST HAVE for ALL WOMEN!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ms Sylvan has just joined the ranks as one of my favorite authors of all time, and if you read this book, I'm sure you will feel the same way. Her down-to-earth style makes you feel as if she's right there with you, like you're having a chat with your best friend. She isn't afraid to tell it like it is, and to empower women in a world where we're still looked down upon for *being* women. I can almost guarantee that if you need to revitalize the Goddess within, you will find her again after reading this book. Book Review: I give this book 5 pentacles and it's worth it
Summary: 5 Stars
The Body Sacred is an amazing book
which should be on every Wiccan's/Pagan's
bookshelf.
This is a book in which so many readers
can relate. I thought, "OMGoddess, she's
writing MY story, MY thoughts, answering
all MY questions, and she is doing it with
a wonderful sense of humor!"
I recommend this book to everyone.
Book Review: Dianne Sylvan's books are wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent book! Like Ms. Sylvan's other book "The Circle Within", this book is well researched, easy to understand, and thought provoking. I love her books!
