This is the first book I have read about paganism, but I found it to be an incredibly helpful introduction to Celtic paganism and folkways and ways to connect more deeply with the world around me. I may purchase as a reference book because it is packed with information that I could not possibly remember. It definitely has a reference book or catalog quality as it introduces a topic, like the use of herbs in magic, and then catalogs various herbs, their names in Irish and Scotch Gaelic, where found, how it has been used and how we might use it today. This review does not do it justice, but if you are interested in the history of Celtic paganism and folkways, I'd recommend it. The author clearly has deep expertise on the topic.

One of the best books on craft that I've read so far. Beyond informative, beautifully written, and incredibly comprehensive I will be recommending this to everyone who asks me for good books on craft. It's not only useful to beginners, but I believe has something to teach whoever takes the time to pour through it. The chapters on natural divination and fire divination were particularly illuminating for me. I can see myself referencing this multiple times. 5 stars.

This book just isn't keeping my attention so I am going to stop. I really wanted to learn more about Celtic traditions but something about the way this was written isn't working for me.

Also it annoys me that there wasn't any pronunciation guides for the faerie names or the Celtic gods. I know I am saying their names wrong.
