'Ariadne's Thread: a Workbook of Goddess Magic'


by Shekhinah Mountainwater

 

 

 

 

 

 

We will not copy out sections of the book. However, for those who do not buy the book, it is still possible to participate in the study by responding to the posts made, and discussing the topic of each cycle in general.


A moderator is co-coordinating/leading the study. For each cycle, she will either arrange other members to lead/facilitate it, or do so herself. This involves encouraging people to read the chapter, do the studies, do related activities, and reflection for that cycle and participate in discussion of the chapter and the topic generally through that month; suggesting topics to discuss, ( eg by posting questions to answer) any other project ideas, and also suggesting any further resources e.g. online or books – that people might find useful. As a cycle leader, any info you have to share is great - but you do not have to 'teach' the cycle - but to facilitate a shared learning experience by all members participating. This is the ethos for all the groups’ studies.

We are studying the cycles of Ariadne's Thread as suggested by Shekhinah Mountainwater with a new cycle each Dark (often called New) Moon. There are 13 cycles so it takes over a year to complete the workbook.

This book comes highly recomended. It is a great book to work through – each ‘cycle’ has a different theme to learn about and there is not just Shekhinah's writing but also diagrams, pictures, suggested activities, 'questions to ponder', and further research that can be done. It is a good beginners overview for newcomers wishing to learn more about being Dianic spirituality and Goddess magic, but also still has something to offer to more experienced Dianics - some of us have been through it many times!
