Suggestions for a Family Member
« on: April 18, 2015, 02:09:48 am »
My sister-in-law was raised in a very strict Baptist home, but has always been fascinated by witches, astrology, elements, rocks, spirit animals. She is looking for a book she can study about animal totems and animal familiars (particularly cats), but I'm worried a book that is very overtly Goddess-centric or polythestic will be problematic for her, given her upbringing. Does anyone have a recommendation for an introductory level book that can give her some information without scaring her off from the get-go? Thanks in advance!

While I haven't read all of her works, Lupa's books seem like they'd be right up your relative's alley, at least as far as totemism goes. New Paths to Totemism would probably be the best of Lupa's bunch to start out with.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I will look into Lupa's work and see if it's something my relative would find helpful.
