Review
Rich in symbology and wisdom, this book will empower women through inspiration and awareness of the Sacred Feminine. It offers lots to learn and think about!”
Jean Shinoda Bolen, MD, author of Goddesses in Everywoman
The goddesses throughout this book are complex and contradictory: they are gentle but fierce, creative but destructive. They are strong, wise, brave and loving....No other book has aligned the goddesses with the cycles and the seasons, with the zodiac and its symbolism. [This] book is a tool to create empowered women one day at a time.”
Durango Herald

Patricia Monaghan, author of The Red-Haired Girl from the Bog and The Encyclopedia of Goddesses and Heroines

Julie Loar gives each of us a bountiful opportunity to do just that, offering a compendium of goddesses from throughout history and all around the world. Come and feast!”
Judith Duerk, author of Circle of Stones
In her wonderful book, Goddesses for Every Day, Julie [Loar] sheds light on the legendary gifts of 366 goddesses
The descriptions in her book bring these legends to life, and more pointedly, remind us of the abilities in ourselves, and the power of the feminine throughout history and across cultures.”

Synopsis
Throughout time, people have turned to goddesses as symbols of what they seek -- from abundance and healing to protection and passion. In a wide-ranging yet succinct daily reflection format, spiritual teacher Julie Loar presents the qualities and origins of an international array of these deities. She gracefully aligns the goddesses with the seasons of the year and the signs of the zodiac, and in an accessible, contemporary voice, guides readers to see reflections of their own power in these embodiments of the feminine and then put this power to practical use. Like the sherpas who worship Chomolunga while guiding climbers up Everest, readers may call on this Nepalese goddess as they struggle to attain a goal. Or on the Roman Fortuna -- inspiration for gambling's wheel of fortune -- for good luck. Loar builds on the bestselling tradition of Jean Shinoda Bolen to help readers draw upon timeless wisdom, one day at a time.
