The Goddess Path by Kirsty Gallagher is an empowering guide to discovering the Divine Feminine.

Gallagher shares stories and lessons from 13 goddesses across many cultures. She dives into archetypes, shadow work, affirmations, and rituals for gaining self-awareness and growth. These practices and exercises help the reader access intuition, establish better boundaries, embrace inner power, and connect with their authentic selves.

This was my first book by Kirsty Gallagher, and I'm so glad I chose to read it. I've since purchased all three of her previous books. I enjoy her teaching style and value her experience and knowledge.

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to explore the Divine Feminine in their spiritual practice.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an eARC of this book.

I love how this book breaks down the Goddess femininity throughout the 13 chapters. I can't wait to dive more into this spiritual journey and discover more about myself throughout this book!

Solid spiritual and self-development/self-empowerment practices through the lens of the Divine Feminine and with different goddesses serving as guides for healing. I do like the section on feminine archetypes: maiden, mother, wise woman, warrior etc. and found it particularly illuminating. The author leads the reader through reclaiming self-worth, boundaries, energy, rest, emotions, intuition etc. Each section has practical advice, insight, affirmations and a "reclaiming ritual."

While I do appreciate the honoring of feminine energies and the divine feminine, working directly with these dieties is not my personal spiritual path (anymore) - but honestly one could plug in other archetypal or spiritual/religious figures - archangels, Ascended Masters, Mother Mary etc -  instead of these goddesses and the exercises would be just as effective. I think this book will have a lot of value for those healing from patriarchal wounds and looking for spiritual empowerment in the divine feminine. I appreciated the section on "healing the witch wound" as I think it applies to any woman stepping into her spiritual gifts and personal power, not just literal witches. Would definitely recommend to those on a goddess-centered, neopagan, or wiccan/witchcraft path or any woman stepping out of her comfort zone and looking for a new framework for healing and personal growth.

I appreciate the author's caveat about shadow work and working with dark aspects of the goddess. Be careful and use discernment.

This is a book centered around feminine self development with a focus on building a connection with the Goddess.

Like others, it brings forth women issues, proposes spiritual and psychological solutions and offers suggestions of Goddesses that can help with these issues and how to connect with them.

As I have read a lot of these books, I was expecting a bit more depth in terms of Goddesses presentations, more insights and a bit more understanding and setting into their cultural context for each Goddess.

For readers new to this kind of books and for anyone who doesn't know where to start their relationship with the Goddess this is a good read, it offers many exercises and ideas to further develop this relationship. All in all, I am grateful to have received this in order to share my view on it and I can recommend it to anyone taking the first steps on the Goddess path, as the author calls it.

Thoughts: I’ve read other “spiritual pathways” types of books but this one is very different. Yes, the emphasis is on goddesses from various religions and crystals and altars, but you don’t have to buy into that if it makes you uncomfortable. But… you should still read the book. There is good information on taking a path to self-discovery. There are daily affirmations that will help you find who you really are; learn to set boundaries and say no, figure out your hopes, dreams, desires, and value. For these things alone, this is a good book. And the author encourages you to take the pathways slowly – this is not something to rush through.

Overall, I thought it was a good self-help book that can help you find your true self. Be prepared to do some deep thinking.

Recommended.

“The Goddess Path” by Kirsty Gallagher is a self-help book designed to guide readers on a transformative journey toward embracing their inner goddess. The author presents a structured approach consisting of thirteen steps that aim to help individuals tap into their intuition, authenticity, and personal power. Each step is crafted to encourage self-reflection, personal growth, and empowerment.

This is an excellent book for anyone interested in personal and spiritual growth. The author’s writing is compassionate, wise, and thoughtful. She has structured the book beautifully and leads the reader along a path that circles around and around and back again as the reader journeys through our many layers within. She refers to many goddesses from different cultures as well as divine feminine archetypes that are available to us on our physical, emotional, and spiritual journeys. I love that she gives permission for the reader to make this goddess path journey our own.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher, for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review

A good book if you want something to re-center yourself or feel like you want to reconnect with yourself, I think even people who arent necessarily "spiritual" could enjoy this book and get something out of it!

Having read all of Kirsty Gallaghers previous books this one was a no brainer. I resonate a lot with Kirsty's words and always leave her books feeling enlightened. This is another great tool from Gallagher, taking you down a path of self discovery to find the Goddess within.
