With the conscious awakening of the ecology movement and the emerging women's movement focusing on Goddess traditions, The Gaia Tradition is a most timely and important piece of work.

Women are becoming more involved in the public eye. They are re-examing the roles they are supposed to fit into; rethinking menstruation and rediscovering the roots of an ancient religion that honored and respected women. Through the chapters of this book, women can begin to discover the magic that dwells within them. As they work through the outline provided for each season, they tap into the feminine power which they naturally contain and raise that power, manifesting it. By evoking the feminine power into their lives they awaken Goddess consciousness, which is an innate aspect of every woman just as God consciousness is an innate aspect of every man.

The Gaia Tradition provides a foundation upon which women from all walks of life can stand, finding support and direction. The book provides a rich psychologically healing effect by affirming that women are divine--not evil, stimulating the provocatively political attitude embraced by women--that which is focused on saving the life of our children and future generations on this planet, as well as the planet itself. Also, The Gaia Tradition provides an intimate manner in which women can become initiated into the life of a "spiritual woman" who wisely nurturess and cares for herself.

The Gaia Tradition is a beneficial and important book for eco-feminists, lesbians, politically active women, New Age/metaphyiscally oriented women, Native American and Eastern taditionalists, housewives, modern workplace women, women in academia, psychologists and forward, open-minded women of current patriarchal religions.
