Fortuna was one of the most celebrated Goddesses of the vast Roman Empire. Her festival themes ...success, love, marriage, homecoming... continue to resonate in our times.
Inspired by Roman wisdom, created by the founder of Temple of Fortuna dot com, this book is a collection of praises and supplications for contemporary people, practitioners, and spiritualists.
Included are contemporary and ancient symbolism, a calendar with descriptions of the Goddess Fortuna's Roman holidays, and over 52 seasonal prayers.

p.s. Fortuna: Praises and Supplications For the Goddess is a condensed version of everything I've learned about the Goddess Fortuna over the last decade, as founder of Temple of Fortuna dot com, with more than 52 seasonal prayers I've written to go with Her holidays. Several pages, including those that mark the four seasons, are intentionally designed with extra space for notes, scrapbooking, drawing, coloring in, writing your own prayers or what have you. Make the book your own, or leave it as is!
This book is about an ancient Roman Goddess and a spiritual expression of written prayer. It is NOT a book of Wicca, nor is it a "spell" or "magical" book. It's a book of praises and supplications to the divine, so please don't expect any advice about magic.
If you're new to the idea of working with the divine feminine, or feel it's a bit odd to be petitioning an ancient Goddess, this sort of thing can also take time to adjust to. Insight and direction can also take time to acquire, in my experience, and only occasionally occurs in a period of days or weeks. Even then, focus and personal effort can be as powerful as faith.

If you're accustomed to divine feminine prayer, and have any personal insights or suggestions, leaving your review at Amazon/Amazon UK might be very helpful to other readers. Honest reviews also help me to know what you might like to see in a "second" edition. For example, would you like some artwork, more rhymes, or a hardbound edition?
