oliviat's review against another edition
Spells taken from variety of cultures; feels very shallow and under-researched. For example, says Beltane was celebrated in "pagan Europe", when it was only a Gaelic holiday and would not have been celebrated by Germanic peoples.
Says Zeus was the determiner of luck, which is...no. The Greeks had luck gods and Zeus was not one of them. Also has you calling on random gods and spirits, with no regard to whether you've built a relationship with Them (these entities are not obligated to help you, and if you rely on them for your spellwork you won't get the results you want).

I need to buy this book for daily reference. It's so beautifully well done. I would recommend it to all lovers of magic and other witchy things.

I like the date format of this book - that you follow the calendar, with some bonus general spells each month.
