"The Woman Magician" and Sisters of Seshat

[Lokabrenna]

I just found a book entitled The Woman Magician: Revisioning Western Metaphysics from a Woman's Perspective and Experience by Brandy Williams:

http://www.amazon.com/Woman-Magician...5761180&sr=8-1



Apparently, the author has started an all-woman (defining "woman" as "anyone who calls herself a woman") initiatory magical order called Sisters of Seshat, see their website here: http://sistersofseshat.com/

I am thinking about picking up the book, because I was never really interested in ceremonial magic because it seemed so androcentric. If anyone's read the book, care to give feedback? The author's "creds" look solid from what I've read so far, but as I've said, I'm woefully out of date regarding the Western Mystery Tradition.

I haven't read the book (yet - definitely looks interesting), but I've met the author and heard her speak. She's definitely worth listening to. She also edited an anthology earlier called "Women's Voices in Magic".

I haven't read the book, but the author is knowledgeable in the CM field, so it is probably worth reading.
