| Author | T. Thorn Coyle |
| ISBN | 1585424366 |
A really intriguing book. Coyle uses her own life experiences to impart the lore and practices of Feri Tradition.

| Author | Merlin Stone |
| ISBN | 0807067512 |
I really like this book, but that might surprise people who know me well. That's because I studied Classics and ancient Greek goddesses, and this book does not provide a balanced academic portrayal of the deities. Which is not to say its not well researched, but neither is that the book's point, I suspect....
| Author | Zsuzsanna E. Budapest |
| ISBN | 0914728679 |
I've been waiting to read this book for ages, and now that I finally have started to read it I'm so disappointed and angry! This is so much crap!

| Author | Marija Gimbutas |
| ISBN | 0500282498 |
Gimbutas' seminal (I use the word ironically) work is a beautiful, yet flawed, artifact.

Gimbutas provides a taxonomy of these neolithic (and...
