Growing up in an Italian-American Roman Catholic home, the author longed for a prayer book like the missal she used as a child, dedicated to the virgin mother. That yearning created this prayer book, dedicated only to the goddesses known to the Italian world in ancient and in modern times.
In this book, you will find prayers for thedaily events you feel require the addition of divine grace, including the simple prayers Pat wrote on the occasions of the births of each of her children, her own table grace and lullabies, in addition to historic works from ancient writers and newly-created pieces. A calendar is included, to inform the reader of the spiritual significance of each day, and its history. You will learn more about your favorite goddesses while discovering previously unknown deities who also deserve your prayers.
Here, also, you will find a Litany of Martyrs, those who were tortured and some who were murdered in the name of witchcraft or heresy, in Italy.
