Disappointing, and too one-sided in its approach. I felt like there was too much emphasis on "that time of month" and other body changes rather than on the whole woman. We are more than just a sum of our parts.

The cover stated: Cross-cultural Rites of Passage. It was not so much sweepingly cross-cultural than just Native American + Neopagan.

There was a lot of information in the book which while not explicitly UNTRUE, definitely didn't tell the whole story. For example, in the first chapter it states, "The Pentacle is a symbol that designates membership in a coven". This may be true for some covens, but certainly not all of them, or even a vast majority. Also, it makes it sound like that is the only purpose of a pentacle, when that is certainly not the case. ( )
