"Deeply satisfying to read--the real joy is making the celebration/renewal of life real in our own lives and with the children who will bring us a new world." (Brooke Medicine Eagle)"The ideas, suggestions, and activities collected here bring children into rituals that celebrate seasonal cycles and help reclaim the spiritual roots of today's modern holidays." (Feminist Bookstore News)"For those who have devoted themselves to reawakening Earth Goddess worship, this book will be like coming home, bringing together a multitude of ideas on living with honor, insight and great love. For those who've shied away from earth centered ritual and worship, this book is a map which provides a route of safety through unknown territory.Celebrating the Great Mother is a well-written book with hauntingly beautiful artwork and lovely illustrations throughout, which takes one on a journey of honoring the earth, our families, and our relations with all beings. A journey well worth taking." (Karin Kaplowitz, Talking Leaves)"This is a handbook for those of us--regardless of religious or spiritual beliefs--who want to share our love of the earth with our children, who know how important this is for the future of our planet, and who use some ideas on how to do it."

ColumbiaThis is a great primer book for parents who want to introduce earth-based spirituality to their children. I am pagan, and found great ways to teach about our holidays and to reconnect with nature. The craft ideas are great and can be used for preschool-elementary kids. There are great book references in the back as well for parents who want further reading or ideas.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Love this book!By Leisa DemosteneThis include thoughtful meditations, and rituals that skip the pomp and focus on the meaning. Their book makes me feel grounded, while at the same time makes my spirit soar. I read a lot, and I'm delighted by their unique ideas. I loved "Circle Round," but I have to say that this book hits at a deeper level. They manage to bridge the gap between the ancient and the modern in simple meaningful ways. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book, and wish there was more!
