Barbara Ardinger 
Practicing the Presence of the Goddess 
Everyday Rituals to Transform Your World

More women than ever are incorporating some kind of spiritual practice into their daily lives, and not always in traditional religious form, but as alternative or hybrid practices. In Practicing the Presence of the Goddess, Barbara Ardinger offers a wide variety of meditations and personal rituals to help women honor the feminine spirit and commune with the Goddess. These include creating a sacred space at home, building a meaningful altar, using ritual and meditation to enrich awareness, and inventing new rituals to celebrate personal events. The author’s wry, gentle humor and loving attitude shine through the text, which offers possibilities ranging from bringing love into one’s life to having a heart-to-heart with the Goddess.
