Power of the Witch: The Earth, the Moon, and the Magical Path to Enlightenment by Tom Cowan, Laurie Cabot
3.0
Well... I've been planning on reading this book for YEARS now but only recently have I gotten my hands on it. Not sure if it was because I read it in an audiobook format (I plan to re-read it in a physical format sometime later in life and my opinion might change) but this book was a bit... disappointing.
I know I must look at it from the POV of the time it was written and what information was available at said time. From the historical info POV, especially in the first few chapters, it's just.... terrible. So much wrong information and data that makes no sense to modern knowledge, especially when it comes to the Celts and the Prehistory and such.
However, ignoring that point, I do admit that the exercises for the Alpha chapters, meditations, healings and spells are very useful and have lots of interesting content into them (and are the main, if not only, the reason I plan to get my hands on a physical copy of this book).
Overall it's not a book I recommend as a beginner's guide. This book I would say is good for people who already know their way around Witchcraft and want to add more info to their practices and want some new exercises to apply to their paths.
