Extremely well-researched, thoughtfully written, and with many seeds for further research.

Great book. Historically accurate for the most part and well thought through.

This book does a good job at explaining different religious / spiritual practices, as well as exploring folkloric aspects. It would be a good starting point for a beginner or for someone that is just interested in learning more about folk magic. It's definitely more of a reference book.
I don't like that the author in some parts automatically assumes that the reader is female and addresses them as such, it's not hard to write in gender neutral terms throughout the entire book. In the end I just ended up flipping through the rest.

I have been taking my time with this book. I have been a little selfish with this book. I have followed Cory since the beginning with the New World Witchery Podcast. When he said he was writing a book I could not wait to read it. I knew it would be everything I loved about the podcast and more. I was not disappointed.
Pulling away from my podcast fangirl, the book is set up as an easy-to-follow look into the tip of the iceberg of the folklore and history of what has become the many magical practices in America. It is a thick read and I will be re-reading it with just as much enjoyment as the first time around.
