Awesome, thanks for your review @Susurrus! And congrats on finishing The Morrigian :raised_hands: I’ll move this lovely review into the next Reader’s Review Discussion when it launches at the end of this book club session.

Until then, perhaps you have another book you’re excited about reading? :books::blush:

Yes! I am adding it to the Book Club now! I’m actually well into reading it already. :joy: I just hadn’t posted the review of the first book yet. :books:

The last week has been somewhat of a whirlwind that had it’s ups & downs & all around. Today is my first day to have for me, so I’m taking my time getting moving & enjoying my coffee :coffee:

I hope you were able to enjoy some quality ā€œme timeā€ too- happy reading! :books::blush:

I missed the last one but I’ve read a few books since then so I’ll review a couple this time.
A few quick thoughts on them:

ā€œThe Inner Mysteriesā€ by Farrar & Bone - This book has a very interesting section on Wiccan cosmology and is a deeper look into the craft than a 101 book.

ā€œYear of the Magickal Dragonā€ by Virginia Chandler - I actually bought this one because I loved the cover art but I ended up intrigued by dragon energies and am trying to work it into my practice.

ā€œThe Crooked Pathā€ by Kelden - A few problems with misinformation and the general tone/agenda but the author makes a good point about local spirits and has a nice idea for using the besom.

Sounds like a good one @MeganB I love the idea of spiritual ancestors and connections to those who aren’t necessarily genetic ancestors but still deeply connected to us. Good luck with the hedgeriding, definitely seems like it will be a rewarding pursuit!

@BryWisteria there’s no author from the book I’m using for the challenge. Is that ok? I’m using: The Witches Almanac; The Sun: Rays of Hope Issue 40

I suppose ā€œThe Witches’ Almanacā€ could technically serve as the ā€œauthorā€ as it’s the name of the collection? But then again, if there’s no author, then there’s no author- it is what it is! :laughing: No worries there, Christina :grin:

Blessed reading! :open_book:

10/10- sounds like Witchcraft Therapy was a great read for you, @Rowan! :heart: Thanks for sharing your thoughts and the quote as well- have to say I love any analogy that uses Mason jars as an example (and that’s such a perfect thing to use with witchcraft :grin:)

I’ll move this into its forever home in the official Review thread when it goes live tomorrow! Thanks again for sharing! :book::sparkles:
