All women possess the primal courage and strength of the Witch. In The Witch in Every Woman, Laurie Cabot brings more than forty years of experience as a spiritual counselor and practicing Witch to cultivate and celebrate the secret, magical side of every woman's nature. Unfolding the wit and wisdom of ancient Celtic tales, as well as many of her own experiences, Laurie shows you how ancient truths can empower you during many of life's dark moments and lead you on a path of success and personal fulfillment. Her original fables, which can also be used as guided meditations, invite you to center your energy and provide inspiration for creating your own stories as you embark on this time-honored journey of self-discovery.

Women have innate talents and exceptional abilities that go unnoticed by our society, and that even women themselves do not fully appreciate. If every woman were to listen closely enough to her own secret song--not simply with ears, but with eyes, heart, spirit, and soul--she would discover a power that she has carried within since before the beginning of time.

A Pleasant Surprise...

I included this book in my list of books that are empowering to women; though, to be honest, I was a little doubtful when I first purchased it. I had some preconcieved ideas about Laurie Cabot that made me feel reluctant to read her work. I am not a "showy" witch, as I believe that spirituality is something which is personal and not for public display -- Ms. Cabot, is, as many witches know and as she herself admits, a very "visible" witch who likes to dress in formal robes and wear magical jewelry. However, this book taught me to see beyond these differences in approach to witchcraft, and to embrace the special abilities which we, as women, share. This book is suitable for witches and non-witches alike, as Laurie Cabot steps back from the idea of the Witch as a religious figure, and uses her as a metaphor for female empowerment -- as the witch represents society's most deep-seated prejudices against womanhood: sexual freeedom, the power of intuition, and our unique connection to the healing Earth and its cycles. A wonderful read for any woman who wants to awaken her inner "Witch."

Perfect for all women

I loved this book. Although I happen to be a witch, I think it speaks to all women. I see too many of myfriends throw off the gifts they expierience as women as curses. I would recommend this book for all teen girls. What is truly perfect is that it doesn't insult men. Too many feminist books cast off men are inferior.

Down to earth and empowering

A very well-written, comprehensive book, covering the basics of witchcraft and giving the reader the feeling that magick isn't something that's "up there" but rather something that is accessible to everyone and can easily be a part of your daily life. It aims to help all women get in touch with their 'inner witch' through examples, stories from mainly celtic mythology and through small medidation and divination exercises you can do at home. Highly recommended!

Bewitching blend of female empowement thru Goddess Tales

I enjoyed this book due to the personal growth meditations fuled by Cabot's storytelling. Some tales explore the Celtic Goddesses and their history while others give you insight on Cabot's own spiritual path, enabling you to learn more about this very special Witch. Above all, this work is supportive to any woman who wants to learn more about herself on a spiritual, emotional, psychological and scientific level. You will also find some old but true magical workings from Cabot, yet will not shy away first time readers. The exercises in this book are creative, rewarding and very inspiring. Cabot portrays the crone gently guiding you through a woman's time of darkness, personal growth and life changes. Her tone is strong, comforting and most importantly, frank. And last but not least, this work is hinted with many traces of life's own experiences!
