Don't waste your time ... Wiccan tripe masquerading as Celtic traditions

[Debbi · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book is simply the author's "how-to" describing how she initiated herself into the practice of Pagan life. She includes "say this, then say that" rituals for the woman who has decided to enter that world. Because she ascribes to the reverence of Celtic Godesses, she can claim Celtic spirituality. The book does NOT discuss historic spiritual practice of the Celts-male or female. Very disappointing.

I got this book cheap from a second hand shop and in really glad I didn't spend much on it. As many have said, this is full of Wiccan junk and isn't all that useful for much else.

I'll grant a little forgiveness in that this book was published in the 90's, I think, and there wasn't really much available that wasn't at least heavily influenced by Wicca. That's actually still a problem in pagan literature in our current era, but at least we're moving away from the dogma attached to Wicca more recently.

There were so many problems with the information that it's difficult to figure out where to start on that. But, for example, the author gets so much wrong about The Morrigan that I wonder what research she did beyond a quick glance at the lore.

I don't recommend this book for any other reason except if you like to collect witchcraft and pagan books. It serves little use beyond that.

This was one of the first books that introduced me to paganism. It has some lovely ideas, but I wouldn't recommend it.

historical facts are somewhat hazy/inaccurate but i'm finding her meditation notes quite fascinating and beneficial!

Great book of pagan rituals with a Celtic twist.

[Willow · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed it. My first Pagan book but I've heard there are some inaccuracies in her facts.

[Lavender · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great beginner's book with a ton of references to other books for reference and to read deeper. A lot of good background information, references and instructions.

[Jovan Stipic · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is infuriating.
not because it's a bad book but because some of the parts are actually very well researched but then some of the conclusions are like a 14 year old tumblr SJW took a swing at critical thinking.
Still, a good read despite those moments
