From Gaia, celebrating "Groundedness," to the "Passion" of Pele, The Women's Book of Guardians presents goddesses, animal spirits, totems, and other symbols that strengthen women by nurturing particular qualities. Divided into three sections - self-realization, relationship, and body and spirit - the book is organized by personal character traits, attributes, and life passages, helping readers to address specific needs and areas for healing - from divorce and leadership to motherhood and courage. Included with each quality are ideas for incorporating the guardian into a daily routine, including creating affirmations, journal writing, building sacred altars, and other helpful exercises. By surrounding themselves with positive, empowering, and energizing imagery, women learn to protect themselves from negative energies, gain strength from relationships, ignite passion in every aspect of their being, and infuse joy into the routines of daily life.
