Colorful and authentic, optimistic and wise, Summoning the Fates is Zsuzsanna Budapest's classic guide to destiny and sacred transformation for women. Budapest, a pioneer of the women's spirituality movement, uses fairy tales, historical lore, and personal stories to describe the stages and roles of a woman's life and the three Fates who rule over each stage: Urdh (youth), Verdandi (adulthood), and Skuld (the crone years). Budapest also offers simple yet beautiful rituals and down-to-earth advice to help you connect with the Fates and embrace your own unique destiny.
