Year of the Witch: Connecting with Nature's Seasons Through Intuitive Magick by Temperance Alden
1.0
i am actually really disappointed with this book. it was highly recommended, but i only found little sections of it that were unique. all the others felt like fillers or very general information that you can easily look up on other book compilations.
the wheel of the year explanations did not even begin until 91 pages in which makes the first 1/3 of the book seem rather redundant to me as they were discussing more about general ideas about beginning to practice when the book was marketed about personalising your wheel of the year.
another issue that irked me was the way that the book executed and had its references. there was a lot of vague references that were not cited or numbered for easier identification which made the overall writing seem sloppy and unedited. for example the author wrote: “there are a number of scientists who believe that due to the Milankovitch cycles….” But which scientists? 8 would like to know so I could cross references and understand whether or not they are reliable.
i also found that that the references of other titles of the book choppy, i believe that the writing would have benefited if there was an index and a notes pages.
there was also an incredible amount of contradictions both of the author’s opinions and also the references that they have used.
my copy’s book cover also just unstuck itself?? which was confusing and bizarre enough so i was just reading it without a cover
