BOOK REVIEW: The Book of Goddesses - Invoke the Power of Goddesses to Improve your Life by Roni Jay
Kartini Kwanyiin Kannan, yup, that's my name. My parents bestowed me with the name of Kartini, as she was a brave Indonesian freedom fighter, in the hopes of moulding a braver me. Then what about Kwanyiin? What's the significance of the bestowing of a goddess' name?
Kwanyiin is the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy. She sacrificed Nirvana, the highest attainment after death, to remain on Earth so as to be merciful on those who needed it most. Maybe that's why I'm compassionate to all forms of life who walk the planet.
This book is a fascinating guide to well-known and time-enduring goddesses from many different spiritual traditions. There is the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, the Greek goddess Athena and even the Buddhist goddess Tara.
The powers attributed to an array of goddesses from the beginning of time is depicted with clarity in this book. As you begin to comprehend their individual powers, you will also unearth the goddess in your very being.
With more than 25 goddesses from various cultures acroas the globe, the myths, appearances and powers attributed to each of them are laid out for your reading pleasure. Besides that, the actual creme de la creme of th book are the rituals stated to harness the powers of the goddesses in the safety and convenience of your own home.
This ravishing read was one of the many books I raided off of my godfather's well-armed shelves. Do get a copy of this 10/10 rated book and rest assured, your interest will piqued.
