1.0 out of 5 stars Yet another bad book by D.J. Conway, 14 Feb 1998
By A Customer
Maiden, Mother, Crone suffers from the same lack of direction and rather shallow research that other books I've read by Ms. Conway suffer from. The first part of this book is simply a disorganized collection of very brief notes on a number of Goddesses from various cultures. Many fascinating deities and archetypal goddesses are provided no more than a sentence or at best a short paragraph. There is no attempt to organize or compare these varies figures by cultures or similarities or to draw any conclusions about the mythology of the goddess whatsoever. Part two of the book is simply a dictionary of symbols that seems to have been included to simply fill space. If you are interested in comparative mythology or in increasing your knowledge of various deities there are numerous other books of better quality out there.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Decent Reference Guide, 7 Jun 1998
By A Customer
I began this book with high hopes but alas, by the end, was a tad dejected. So I did the Lemon=Lemonaide thing. I grabbed my trusty high-lighter and went to town. To the authors credit, Maiden, Mother and Crone does give us bits of information on a wide range of religious cultures, giving us a look at the Goddess, her functions and her followers from every continent. This book has a million footnotes, most of which lead you to an author and title of some reference book, so I walked away with lots of suggested reading. Other than that, I'm afraid this one has little depth and is now in my Donate-to-the-Library pile.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why do you bash this book?, 6 May 1999
By A Customer
"Maiden, Mother, Crone" is exactly what it is: a book about the Goddess, how to communicate with Her, and her aspects. If people were looking for anything that really dealt with Paganism straight out, then they'd be disappointed. I, on the other hand, like this book. I've only had it for two days and I love it. I actually prayed to Her last night with tears in my eyes.
