Product Description
Product Description
Yasmine Galenorn presents a nurturing guide for loving the body and allowing it to become a more expressive vehicle for the spirit within. Offering personal revelations as well as interviews, rituals, exercises, visualizations, spells, and practical tips, she helps readers achieve balance in their physical and spiritual self-perceptions.
Beginning with the author’s insights on body image, self-esteem, and soul, CRAFTING THE BODY DIVINE presents health and beauty tips geared to radiating a positive self-image, and looks at how society defines beauty and how individuals can liberate themselves from the restrictions of such ideals. The second part of the book focuses on movement as ritual, and exercise as the experience of spiritual energy. Finally, Galenorn explores body modification, such as tattooing and piercing, as personal expressions of spirit.

A worth reading book...,
This review is from: Crafting the Body Divine: Ritual, Movement, and Body Art (Paperback)
This book caught my attention when I read that the author talked about body acceptance and body modification such as tattoos. (I love both subjects). In the end I learned more about that and more. I love Yasmine's way of writing, as if she's talking to you over a cup of tea...or coffee. She doesn't mind giving examples from her own life so the reader can relate. I also got some new rituals to try in this book and learned more about different gods and goddesses that I never learned about or are not widely known. As a result of reading this book, I am currently reading Sexual Ecstasy and the Divine by her. This book is under the Pagan catagory, but can be read by people who are not Pagan.

Wonderful!,
By Felix (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crafting the Body Divine: Ritual, Movement, and Body Art (Paperback)
A frank, honest, and personal book about learning to live in and love your body, with a Pagan twist on the topic. Topics range from eating healthy to body modification (tattoos, piercings, etc).Lots of great advice, a great attitude is presented here, and it's storylike enough to make it interesting from cover to cover. Doesn't come across preachy or "witchier-than-thou" in any way. Thanks Yasmine! Keep up the good work!
