Repéré chez Asherah comme je le disais dans un billet précédent, j’avais commandé The Body Sacred de Dianne Sylvan.
Je l’ai reçu hier. J’ai commencé à le lire ou plutôt à le parcourir, dans le désordre le plus complet. J’ai apprécié ce que j’ai pu lire jusqu’à maintenant. Mais je ne suis plus certaine d’être aussi réceptive à son contenu qu’il y a quelques semaines
En attendant mes commentaires suite à une lecture plus attentive, voici la table des matières de l’ouvrage :

J’ai aussi envie de copier la quatrième de couverture ici, au moins une partie :
« I call for women to stand up and reaffirm their Goddess-given beauty no matter how short, fat, old, or imperfect we think we are. Each of us is touched and blessed by the Divine, no matter what we look like. Our task is to remember this, and to live it. For most of us, it is the hardest and most rewarding magic we will ever do.
I wrote The Body Sacred because women will never truly win the fight for equality unless we first stop attacking ourselves. As Wiccans, we have many gifts in our hands to help us on this quest; our view of the universes as a manifestation of the Goddess and God – and our ability to help shape the unfolding og that universe – is the greatest gifts of all. I hope that, after reading this book, you can look into the mirror of your body and spirit and see the Goddess looking back. »
