The book we\u2019re discussing today is \u201cLife Ritualized: A Witch\u2019s Guide to Honoring Life\u2019s Important Moments\u201d by Phoenix LeFae and Gwion Raven. If the name Gwion Raven sounds familiar, you might remember me reviewing his excellent book<\/a> \u201cThe Magick of Food\u201d. With \u201cLife Ritualized\u201d he and his spouse, accomplished author Phoenix LeFae, tackle many of life\u2019s most complex experiences.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ What is a milestone? There are obvious ones in American society, like birthdays, being legally allowed to drink, getting your drivers license, etc. However, LaFae and Raven explore the true complex nature of our lives and acknowledge that many things happen, big and small, and happy or sad, that mark our passage through life. It is simple to find books featuring rituals for marriage and birth. \u201cLife Ritualized\u201d posits that rituals can not only make the good times better and more meaningful but can also provide solace and comfort in bad times. They cover about any life event you can think of, such as: fertility, adoption, birth blessings, miscarriage, abortion, graduation, new driver, new car, new job, new home, handfasting, retirement, grief, loss of job, menopause, pet burial, self-initiation, and more.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m obviously impressed by how thorough this book is in examining the human experience. Raven and LeFae share intimate moments from their own lives to illustrate times when you may want to use these rituals. What I appreciated the most is that although \u201cLife Ritualized\u201d is a \u201cWitch\u2019s Guide\u201d, most of the rituals are appropriate for any open-minded, nondenominational group or individual.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in adding ritual, or more ritual, to your life, I highly recommend \u201cLife Ritualized\u201d by Phoenix LeFae and Gwion Raven’<\/p>\n
