My favorite aspect of this book is the way the prayers illuminate different aspects of the deities to Whom they are directed. Offering a prayer a day through a seven day cycle takes the worshipper on a journey of discovery as well as devotion. Those journeys are rich enough that I consider it to have been a worthwhile purchase even though I have devotional relationships with only a few of the gods honored within.

It's clear that these prayers have emerged out of the intense personal devotional lives of the authors, devotion which combines deep spiritual engagement and scholarship.

Even if you don't worship Greek, Egyptian or Northern gods, I would recommend at least browsing this book for inspiration, and any religious person could benefit from reflecting on the prayers to Pietas, Who is Piety Herself. ( )
