toad_maiden's review against another edition
3.0
Wow, this one took me a while to get through; it is really jam-packed with... I don't know what, frankly. So, as a nonfiction guidebook to a spiritual practice, this book was a failure for me. It was far too fluffy and self-indulgently written to learn much from. However, as a fascinating look at one woman's shamanistic ventures, I couldn't put it down. There is so much airy-fairy (excuse me, aery-faery) pagan poetry in here. There are spirit guides and magic flame cloaks and exhibitionist old ladies, intentional and unintentional thought-forms. I mean, it's really a trip. So, my three-star rating is definitely a product of how much I enjoyed reading this book--even if it was mostly morbid fascination--rather than how useful it will be to me.

I really wanted to rate this book higher... because I so badly wanted to like it, so I will give it 2.5*. Honestly, it wasn't written horribly but I think I expected something different? I was fairly disappointed with it. Ok I had the HARDEST time getting through it. Love the cover, that is what sucked me in. Some of the journey information was useful. Other than that... meh
