Customer Reviews

Excellent guide to planning blessingways

This book is very well organized and offers lots of great ideas for planning a blessingway. There are lots of suggestions to choose from, and to inspire your own ideas. A very valuable resource and highly recommended!

A book of Ritual for New Comers

This book is very good! This book has some very good ideas to celebrate the incoming life-to-be. It is pagan-based, and rather on the "hippy" side of things. The biggest boon is the pages instructing on how to make the belly-cast.

Best book EVER for Blessing ways

This is such a helpful book and is easy to read. If you are planning on throwing a blessingway at your house....this is the best book to make sure it is a success!!

Full of ideas!

I created a unique and beautiful blessingway for my dear friend with this book. It lists several ideas for different stages and types of blessingways. It gives a little history as well. What I liked best about the book is that it left the blessingway up to me to plan, there was no rigged 'this is the way it must be done'. It also was written for any religious belief system to create a blessingway, honoring your guest of honors' beliefs is easy with this book!
