Book review: The Goddess is in the Details

The Goddess is in the Details is a book written by popular Wiccan author Deborah Blake, but this book is not just for Wiccans.  Ms. Blake is not one of the most common writers known among the Pagan community, and it is more likely that someone will mention Scott Cunningham, Z. Budapest or Starhawk if you ask them to mention the first Pagan author that comes to mind.  Don't let this fool you.

The author of this excellent gem describes this book as a title that is not "Wicca 101," and she makes no apologies for it.  Instead, she leads the reader to believe that this book is more about the spiritual practice of Paganism and living every day as an empowered human being through your faith.  She offers excellent tips and suggestions on topics such as sacred space and altars while living with a roommate, and quick and easy ways to celebrate the Sabbats for individuals that don't have a lot of time or money to obtain a long list of ingredients.

In fact, Ms. Blake encourages the reader to come to the realization that Paganism begins with the spirituality and faith of the Goddess and God and that is the first place to start.  This is also encouraged through simple tasks at the end of each chapter encouraging readers to think about their beliefs and their path and how they would like to shape their spiritual development.  Check it out!
