BOOK REVIEWS:
Beyond the Misty Vale is an interesting,
frank, and well-written text that will dispel any misconception that Wicca
involves Satanic worship or black magic. As Lady Diana, High Priestess
of Misty Vale Coven explains, Satan is a Judeo-Christian concept, and has
no place in the gentle Goddess-centered practice of Wicca. Readers might
be surprised to learn that many of the traditional holidays of the Western
world have their roots in Wicca. Beyond the Misty Vale is
a must for any historical writer's reference shelf and a fascinating read
for the rest of us.
Cynthia VanRooy, multi-published author in
Contemporary Romance
Beyond the Misty Vale by Lady
Diana is more than just "A Complete guide to Wiccan Religion, Philosophy,
and practice." This well-written, informative book has something for believers,
nonbelievers, researchers, the curious, and those who just want a great
nonfiction read!
Beyond is a book
from the heart -- a woman's heart -- and presents Wiccan beliefs in a context
that shows women's and men's development through the ages in conjunction
with the development of Wicca. Using humor, meticulous research, and a
warm, friendly style of writing, Lady Diana both informs and debunks the
old superstitions that Halloween and the entertainment industry keep perpetuating.
As a published author with twenty
book sales, I found the skillful writing engrossing, and thoroughly enjoyed
the added bonus of Lady Diana's humorous, lively presentation. As a woman,
I found her insight into women fascinating, and particularly pertinent
to today's women of ANY religion, especially those of us raising daughters
in a country where women are NOT legally entitled equal rights. Lastly,
as a staunch Roman Catholic, I found Lady Diana's presentation thoughtful,
non-offensive, and so sensible that I've applied some of her philosophy
to my own life.
I fully endorse this book to
all readers and writers, especially those who wish to write fiction
using a Wiccan setting. Knowledge is power, and Beyond the Misty
Vale is a powerful new book by a very powerful writer. I look forward
to this talented writer's next publication.
