This book is fantastic. If you are interested in mythology like I am, this would be a great title to add to your library. This book is broken into four chapters: archangels & angles, saints, ascended masters & master teachers, and goddesses & deities. It gives you a general overview of each divinity which is also broken down into four sections: associated faith/cultures, how they can help you, invocation, and then information about the divinity in question. Each divinity is also brightly illustrated in beautiful colors and details…these illustrations help to give us an idea of what each divinity may have looked like. Although I have not had the chance to read through the whole book, I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve read so far.
What I like about Angels, Spirits & Goddesses
I really like how this book is organized. I like that angels are separate from goddess which are separate from saints. I also really like how each divinity is displayed. They each get one full page of illustration and then one page of information about them. This isn’t one of those books that you have to read from beginning to end. It allows you to jump around and look up a divinity you want to know more about. This is a great reference book for anyone who is interested in researching these types of divinities. What’s great about this reference book, is that is crosses over multiple faiths and cultures…it’s not specific to one faith like Christianity, Islam or Greek. It’s also pretty affordable, available for retail at $19.99 on Amazon. With Christmas right around the corner, this book will be a perfect stocking stuffer for your mythology or angel enthusiasts… or why not a “just because” gift for yourself. If you plan to include this title in your home library, use this book to call upon the angels, goddesses or saints in your everyday life. You won’t be disappointed.

Although I’ve always been interested in homemade health and beauty aids, household products, and natural remedies, I’ve never delved too deeply into it, largely for fear of doing more harm than good. Thank goodness I’ve now got a wonderful new book to help me, The Simple Guide to Natural Health: From Apple Cider Tonics to Coconut Oil Body Balm, 150+ Home Remedies for Health and Healing by Melanie St. Ours.
* Complimentary Book Received for Review.
This book takes the reader through all the steps necessary to safely and effectively make and use all sorts of natural remedies and mixtures for self-care, starting with an in-depth discussion of natural remedies and when they are and are not appropriate. Equally helpful is the information on how and where to source the ingredients (including an extensive resources section) and storing your materials and finished remedies. The author’s clear explanations are basic enough for a beginner like me but technical enough to be of interest to readers who already have some knowledge of herbal medicine.
The Simple Guide to Natural Health covers an astonishing range, including cleaning solutions to use throughout the home, treatments and preventatives for all sorts of ailments, and recipes for probiotic and healing food. Whether you’re interested in trying a few simple remedies or immersing yourself in the world of herbal medicine, this book has what you need. Here’s a sampling:
• Tea Tree Toilet Bowl Cleanser
• Rosemary Hair Rinse
• Sage and Licorice Sore Throat Soother
• Sleepytime Potpourri
• Muscle-Loving Omega-3 Brownie Bites
• Lavender and Peppermint Headache Balm
• Soothing Oat and Calendula Bath
The entries are set up like recipes, with a list of ingredients followed by the directions. Each entry also has a heading detailing “Benefits and Uses” and “Avoid,” so you’ll know why you might want to make it as well as any potential reasons you might not want to. Also included is a sidebar labeled “Remedy Notes” with additional information about the mixture, such as suggestions for using it, properties of the ingredients, or just fun facts.
Many of these natural remedies rely heavily on essential oils, which might require a somewhat substantial initial investment. However, a lot of the mixtures use more affordable and easily accessible ingredients like apple cider vinegar, dried or fresh herbs, baking soda, garlic, and ginger. Again, something for everyone.
