Be a Goddess stands the test of time!

A little over four years ago, I worked through the 15 weeks of lessons in Be a Goddess and found, to my great surprise and pleasure, that these lessons were fun, inspiring, and, most of all, life-transforming. The psychology was sound, the spirituality was amazing, and the teacher was warm and caring. Since then, I've gone on to train extensively with Francesca and have been delighted to discover that the teacher I found in her book is the Real Deal. She is everything I hoped to find and more. I continue to recommend Be a Goddess for anyone who is interested in exploring Goddess spirituality, beginning a path as a magical practitioner, or just looking for spiritual guidance and inspiration. As for the reviewers in this section who maligned Francesca and her work, I am saddened and a little angry. Attacks on a person's work and personal worth are unseemly and undignified. Disagree, if you must, but attacking anonymously is reprehensible.

Want to feel truly special? - then you found the right book

This book is great if you have no prior experience with any kind of withcraft. I have always been interested in the supernatural, but a bit scared to practice it. Well not any more as this book has taught me a lot about ethics when using magic. This is truly good, clean and safe magic. There is nothing to be afraid of - just enjoy being special. And that is what this book does - it makes you realise that you are special in and of yourself. Furthermore, I felt like this book was written especially for me. I could just relate to so many of the things she wrotes and it often made me laugh. I am glad that my first contact with witchcraft was through "Be a Godess". I fell like it has given me a safe and solid base in withcraft and I still use the book regularly. To me this book is magic - in and of itself.

Effective, loving, and humorous, just like its author.

Ms. De Grandis delivers a charming, practical and insightful look at her specific branch of the Faerie Way, suitable for anyone wishing to know more about the Craft, or just gain better control over their lives. Step by step, she leads you through "lessons" in a conversational way.What I like best about this book, other than its approachability, is the way the author slowly reveals information about her own challenging path, rather than hitting you over the head with her expertise right off the bat, which only adds to its and her credibility.I was sufficently moved by the book to pick up the phone and schedule my first ever "reading" with Ms. De Grandis. A wonderful experience. She's just as loving and effective in person as she is in print.

This book definately changed my life!

Yesss, "Be a Goddess" definately changed my life! I had always been longing for the presence of the loving goddess and had no idea how I could "reach" or "find" her. After starting the work in Be a Goddess I realized she had been with me all the time - was I so blind? I remember myself crying hard to feel her wrapping her arms around me and just didn't realize she did...all the time!Working with "Be a Goddess" is highly recommended! The pace of the book is quite good. One can integrate the work on the chapters perfectly into a busy everyday life.Thank you, Francesca de Grandis!

She is real, accessible, encouraging, has a great web site,

Francesca De Grandis `Be a Goddess' The Third Rd tradition is an immensely transforming experience for the wayfarer, journeymen or seeker on the way to finding their initial starting point or for those with an inherent deeply resonating connection in a Celtic Shamanic Magical Discipline. Francesca brings together a broad range of powerful practises for the aspiring spirit, which is truly reaching out to be connected and transformed in a down-to-earth, practical everyday application of knowledge. She is real, accessible, encouraging, has a great web site, and `there' for you. For prospective readers, I know there is a tendency when flicking through a book to be cautious and sceptical of current works that involve the terms - magic, shaman, guides, spirits, beings and fairies. To immediately disregard that which we do not understand, because of connotations & misrepresentation in a `Oh I know here we go off with the fairies again, when will these authors get a life!' `I am looking for a real discipline not delusion!' type of inner voice.Well I understand this, as I have been the world's greatest sceptic. But now I am the world's greatest eclectic! So, if you truly have a `desire' to reach into your `Self' and find the inherent beauty and magic of the human state, and `desire' to abide in a clarified, empowered, sacred space within you daily - this course will lay down the essential approach and inner housekeeping required for a life time discipline of worship, humility, enchantment, passion and fantastic super sweaty sex. I have researched over 50 books on magic, shamanism, witchcraft, ritual, healing, energy and pain management. All due to the need to find the essence of transpersonal medicine (Body, Mind, Emotion and Soul healing) from ancient healing arts. I have been so ill for 5 years plagued by chronic fatigue, body-wide pain, sleep deprivation, annihilated immune system, etc with no allopathic solutions available. A classic merry-go-round of symptoms with no hope or future. What I found in Francesca's book and further from daily practise over the last 12 months of the Third Rd, was the way to heal my Soul, which was so desperately devoid of spirit and required special nurturing and connected love. My mind, which was so effected by the layers of medication and the effect of being estranged from my `Self'. My body that was so physically exhausted beyond any possible energy healing, beyond all - I was lost to my `Self' completely. Believe me, this is a very dark hole and a long way to crawl back from and required enormous self-discipline, self-clarification and nurturing, not to mention some pure magic and the right teacher. The essence of `Be a Goddess! - the Third Rd' has reached deep into my (and all the other folk I have encouraged to participate) soul, psyche and connection to this life. Shifting blocks, distortions, and past hurts that live on until they are recognised, nurtured and forg
