About the author
Jennifer Reif is the author of Mysteries of Demeter: Rebirth of the Pagan Way, first published by Weiser Books in 1999. The book is a practical manual for reconstructing the rites and mysteries associated with Demeter and Persephone, framed as part of an earth-based religious tradition centered on the Great Mother Goddess and her daughter. It sets out rituals and celebrations intended to be complete and usable as written, with an emphasis on reverence for the earth and for the natural cycles the Demeter and Persephone myth is understood to represent. The book has stayed in print for over two decades under the same publisher, indicating a lasting readership within contemporary Goddess-tradition and pagan revival circles. Reif's catalogue here consists of this single title across two editions.
