Query: Touching and thought provoking

I was surprised by the intensity of emotions and contemplations this book stirred in me. Unlike many of the other reviewers, I found the first person narrative not only effective but essential to this highly personal story about belief, controversy, tragedy and joy, a strange mixture of Christianity, paganism, feminism and individualism. There were aspects of this book that I could relate to, and other aspects that aroused my passionate disagreement. This book helped me re-contemplate myself as a woman and a Christian, rediscovering the more mystical aspects of my gender, my faith and my individual identity. Though I plan to read the Mists, I am glad that I have not read it before this book, thus approaching the Priestess of Avalon without preconceptions.
