Building a Magical Relationship: The Five Points of Love
A thoughtful, effective guide to healthy relationships, this book offers effective therapeutic principles expressed in clear, effective steps with exercises, myth, stories and spiritual workings to help bring them into your life. Building a Magical Relationship brings together Cynthia Jane Collins, M.Div., a licensed family therapist, and Jane Raeburn, author of Celtic Wicca. Together, they offer a guide aimed specifically at Pagans and Wiccans, yet useful for all. Honoring the variety of relationships chosen by today's Pagans, the book specifically includes examples from same-sex couples and relationships with more than two partners. Building a Magical Relationship is appealing and valuable to anyone on a path of growth and renewal. It speaks to an audience that values books, and includes a helpful bibliography for readers who are inspired to learn more. Collins and Raeburn draw on Tarot and spellwork to help draw out the spiritual issues in relationships, yet also offer time-tested techniques accessible to a wide audience in dealing with issues from the mundane to the major. The principles take the form of a quartered circle, with Balance at the center. Stories from world mythology help illustrate the joys and struggles of relationships across cultures and time periods. Where appropriate, the authors draw on their own experiences, freely sharing their mistakes as well as their successes. Building a Magical Relationship includes a quick
primer for those new to Pagan and Wiccan terminology, yet goes far beyond
"Wicca 101" to deliver a powerful message about individuals'
power to shape their relationships not just to romantic partners, but
to themselves and the Divine. Contents Preface
