Interesting, I just didn't connect with any of the rituals.

It wasn't bad... There were a few cringey parts, to be certain- especially mentions of the mythical and all too common (not to mention forever incredibly vague) "Earth Mother Goddess". But to be honest, I expected it to be much worse than it actually was.

That being said, I do wish it actually contained information instead of telling you to read a different book (or 3, or 5). But overall it's more a study guide / outline with homework that points you towards a million other resources more than anything. Nothing more, nothing less... And while it was nice for finding other resources? It really wasn't useful to me outside of that- especially since I have no intention of becoming an ADF member, and it's meant for someone who is. So if, like me, you've no intent of joining ADF, I doubt it'll offer much value to you either.
