"Hear the Voice of the Wild Girl: "Nature is my untamed mother, swift Deer my sister, wise Owl my friend. I know many things, for though young in body, I am ageless in Spirit..."Wild Girls: The Path of the Young Goddess is a celebration of the Maiden Goddess. It is also an instruction manual of nature religion for the teen through young adult female. Wild Girls teaches her how to build an altar, to interpret her dreams, to create a healing charm, to cast a circle of protection for herself, (and much more) through story, song, journaling and inspiration.Patricia Monaghan is a scholar and active member of the feminist spiritual community. Her work is weighty and solid, yet fun and accessible too. She does *not* teach manipulation, but instead encourages girls (and any woman who feels the Young Goddess energy) to discover the divine Maiden within themselves."
