🎓 Reddit experts on new age goddesses books
The comments and opinions expressed on this page are written exclusively by redditors. To provide you with the most relevant data, we sourced opinions from the most knowledgeable Reddit users based the total number of upvotes and downvotes received across comments on subreddits where new age goddesses books are discussed. For your reference and for the sake of transparency, here are the specialists whose opinions mattered the most in our ranking.
It's the Winter Solstice, so that's probably why your searching isn't turning up anything. You are so thoughtful to do this for her! What to get her obviously depends on her personality and interests, so if you could tell us a little bit more about her in general that would probably help.
Not knowing what kind of things she already has does make it difficult to recommend things, but I'm going to link you some books that are of general interest but not the kind of thing that most folks already have in a basic library, if that makes sense.
The Return of the Light and In the Light of the Moon are two charming little books full of stories from around the world about the Winter Solstice and the full moon, respectively.
The Charge of the Goddess - The Poetry of Doreen Valiente is a small volume of poetry by one of the most influential women in Wicca.
The Circle Within is a thoughtful, down-to-earth guide for better incorporating Wicca into one's daily life. Very helpful.
The Earth Path is perfect for the ecologically-minded. It shows witches how to really get out in nature and experience it.
A Book of Pagan Prayer is a plain little book packed with a huge variety of prayers and information on creating them.
>Webster has the true definition of feminism.
Webster (and other dictionaries) have the claimed, dictionary definition of feminism, which is not even remotely close to how feminists really think and act.
>My dad is most certainly not a doormat. He and my mother treat each other as equals.
A man supporting feminism is like a black person supporting the KKK, or a jew supporting the nazis.
>Seriously, don't you see what you're doing?
I most certainly do.
>How do you feel when you tell someone you're a Men's Rights activist and they automatically assume you think this makes you better than women? You know that's not true.
If those women are feminists, then yes, I AM better than them. The same is true of male feminists as well.
>So why apply a similar stigma to a word that is, at its heart, the same as what you believe?
I am an antifeminist. Feminism is antithetical to my beliefs.
Feminism is a hate movement that for half a century has been Spreading Misandry, Legalizing Misandry, and Sanctifying Misandry. It has been actively waging a War Against Men and sadly even a War against Boys.
Late comment but thought it weirdly fortuitous seeing this discussion after coming across a book today at the library I visited for the first time. It’s called Jailbreaking the Goddess and discusses a somewhat newer version of the fivefold goddess model.
The more common model seems to be maiden, mother, crone, with warrior and lover added. The book breaks the idea down a little differently, using Latin names, with the following:
Femella: girl, the primal child, the divine child.
Potens: the woman of strength, full of potential and power.
Creatrix: female creator, the maker, mother, author.
Sapientia: the wise woman, teacher, leader, woman of science and art.
Antiqua: the old woman, dreamer, storyteller, the witch at the gate.
Image of the page with better detail.
Like this better but I do have yet to read most of the book. There are further chapters on each, such as how the creator is more than merely a mother archetype with artworks, songs, and revolutions of thought under her purview. I truly think though that, if you’re drawn to getting power from the goddess model, you could do so from one, three, or five, or however many faces you’re moved to commune with.
I recommended the Kybalion in my previous comment before seeing this post. It seems you have already read the Kybalion then. You are already off to a great start. But there are, as always, up to seven layers of meaning to any text. So you should consider it as more of a reference work than anything; only when your journey is complete will you be able to make full use of its contents.
I might have also referenced the Bhagavad Gita. It seems like our attraction to the mystical is in a very similar pattern. Since you have gone this far, then, as per my other comment I would recommend Mark Stavish's Egregores, but also I might recommend the works of Manly P. Hall, and also his largest influencer, H. P. Blavatsky. Specifically ISIS Unveiled for the latter.
Manly P. Hall would be an especially good resource for so-called "fast tracking." His works are very encyclopedic. Particularly his masterwork The Secret Teachings of All Ages.
You may also find Max Heindel's The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception beneficial.
If you’re interested in the philosophy most people understand typical monotheism, atheism/agnosticism, polytheism but there are also several types of pantheism that often get overlooked. Alan Watts recordings are easy to find and remarkably poignant even after many decades.
If you’re interested in the more practical aspects of witchcraft or something a little lighter, I’ve really enjoyed Deborah Blake’s books like the Goddess is in the Details.
I’m also a big fan of Kelly Ann Maddox on YouTube because her advice is very versatile and applicable no matter what direction your practice takes and her work is very psychologically sound.
Mmm... the sun, the empress, and the well made me think immediately of the three aspects of Triple Goddess. She goes by many names, and depending on her current phase, she may go as a maiden (sun), a mother (empress), or a hag (well). The fact you’ve got the well so many times may mean you’re forging a strong bond with the Dark Mother. She’s the powerful witch, she who reigns the underworld, the guardian of death. Depending on the pantheon, she may be the Morrigan, Hecate, La Santa Muerte, Persephone...
This is actually quite interesting!
I recommend you read this book: The Great Cosmic Mother: Rediscovering the Religion of the Earth
There’s a part that explains the connection of underground waters with the goddess, which may explain why you’ve got the symbol of the well.
I've been working for Rhiannon for a few months and I've always gotten a very motherly vibe from her. Sometimes she can vague when it comes to communication. I found this book by Jhenah Telyndru to be quite helpful well it comes to honoring her. If you're interest in working with her in a more Brythonic polytheist way, Dun Brython might be of interest. And of course there's the Mabinogion but I'm sure you've probably heard of it by now. I hope this helps!
Perhaps not helpful for dysphoria banishment, but I am LOVING this text re: the problems with the traditional maiden-mother-crone view of feminist spirituality, which really does infuse much of the craft. Hope it helps!

I can think of several that focus on many goddesses from around the world. All these books present these goddesses as being aspects of The Goddess which is not my own theology, so I sift through some of the text with saltshakers handy.
If you'd like books on working with specific goddesses, I can offer suggestions for the Morrigan and Brighid. I've contributed content to a Brighid devotional and another text for Brighidine Paganism. Devotionals might be helpful if you're looking for a specific Lady; I can think of several titles for Kemetic and Norse goddesses.

You might also find Hermaphrodeities: The Transgender Spirituality Workbook to be interesting, along with Transgender Spirituality: Man into Goddess: Sakhi Bhava.
I wasn't sure what the rules are for this contest, but this is $4.44!
As a gift though, I would rather have this or anything off of my wishlist.
My favorite right now is The Goddess is in the Details! https://www.amazon.com/Goddess-Details-Wisdom-Everyday-Witch/dp/0738714860
Monica Sjoo is worth a read if that's where your interests lie.
I know of at least one book on the subject, Sancifying Misandry. On Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CS5BQG2/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
"Fun" fact: I think this crazy feminist "mythology" is what's referenced in the title of the Gillian Anderson show The Fall (available on Netflix). Watch a few episodes and notice how the show portrays men and women. It's literally the only show I've seen I could call misandrist.
The misandry series.
edit: added links
Few things:
Armchair quarterback time. Straughan did a brilliant job as always but perhaps a little constructive criticism couldn't hurt:
Overall though a pretty good discussion, and though the feminist is obviously wrong about a number of issues she did show a willingness to acknowledge female privilege and change her views.
Thanks "bad" Karen or /u/girlwriteswhat ;)
