Very lovely and empowering book. It does not feel forceful or shaming, but a caring hand in a tough world.
Whether or not to indulge in the Craft, it feels good to be in the mindset of kindness and duality. However I proceed, I am have gained something inside myself from reading this book.
This book offers a good overview of many aspects of witchcraft. It's a good beginner/ overview book with more resources listed in the back. I read it first when it was published and I just re-read it as part of returning to active practice.
