Synopsis
From one of the most beloved and bestselling authors in the world, one of his earliest and most popular novels published in English for the first time
Brida is the story of a young woman, Brida O'Fern, and her path through the Wicca pagan tradition. Brida is only 21 years old when she meets a magician and asks to become a witch. The book compares the two classical forms of teaching, the Revelation (Tradition of the Sun) and the ritualistic (Tradition of the Moon). Love is the only way we have to bridge over to the spiritual world. When we love, we want to be better than we already are, and love makes us better.
Brida captures the essence of Paulo Coelho -- thought-provoking spirituality, belief in the beauty of the physical and emotional worlds, and the Divine Feminine.
