I loved it. I am going to give it some time to marinate and then write some thoughts down.
To start though...
I appreciate that there isn’t a focus in the wheel of the year. It never really resonated with me and the authors offer up some reasons why it may not for some and present an alternative.
I think that there is enough information to pull from to connect with your local landscape. The exercises are very good and can expanded on over time.
The recommended reading sections are on point. There are some excellent titles there that I’m familiar with and others I’m excited to dive into.
There is a breakdown of working with the moon and some insight that is helpful.
The authors are conscious of other traditions and their histories and are diplomatic and fair in that regard. Additionally, they don’t come across as their way is the right way.
There are a few other things that I’ll add later.
