As more and more women rise up into their leadership and take ownership of their truth and their voice, they feel a strong pull toward being in circle with other women.The power of women gathering is immeasurable.There is more demand than supply right now so we need more women to raise their hands and be the leaders of circles, creating safe, sacred space for women to come together in sisterhood.When women come to Sistership Circle to learn how to lead circles, the #1 question they have is: what's the structure and what rituals should I use to create a powerful and potent experience?So we curated a group of talented facilitators to each contribute a ritual that they love, as well as inspirational stories on why they circle.This handbook is designed to empower and inspire more women to lead circles using these beautiful rituals, and is specifically focused on the spring season. Many of these rituals can be done individually to invoke the divine feminine and connect deeper with oneself. We hope you use these for your own special ceremonies, with girlfriends, or in your women's circles.

This is a handbook on how to perform sacred ceremonies in the tradition of Goddess spirituality in one's own home with ordinary household items. An annual cycle of celebrations is included, as is advice on how to set up an altar and use simple tools. The author, a practitioner of Wicca (witchcraft), expounds the life-affirming, eco-feminist values of that tradition. Suggestions for rituals and ideas for inventing one's own are given. Poetry and blessings blend in a title which supports celebration of the Goddess image in daily life. These rituals are personal, moving rites which celebrate love and peace, and which act as meditations for considering new rituals, old traditions, and the course of women's lives.

Once the basis for all religion, the Goddess is resurfacing and being reclaimed by women in their quest for inner development and wholeness. Here you will learn of the deceptions of history and the hidden secrets of our past. Also learn the techniques of ritual, group structure, individual work, healing, crystals, tarot and I Ching, the discovery and development of power from within, and much more.
