bring joy to life. And not just ancient rituals, but also modern
ones that have fallen into disuse, or brand new rituals created
today...An enormous amount of rituals are given here, to
alleviate, enhance enjoin, empower, and make joyful...Fisher
knows her rituals inside, outside, and definitely rightside-up. A
rare gift of a book by a woman who en-joins life and
encourages everyone to en-joy.

Sacred Ceremonies is a comprehensive resource of cultural and sacred rituals for an individual,
family, group or community. This book does not limit itself to any particular tradition, instead,
it explores possibilities from many sources.
