This was an interesting read! I didn't find much that I would like to pull from this to incorporate into my own practice but loved reading more of the context and some of the spells, charms, and rituals from those who practiced British folk Magic.
Also I don't mean to be too nitpicky, but there were lots of spelling and grammatical errors throughout this novel which should have been picked up in editing (beyond the old English spelling variants and format). I believe this was a self-published work so I'm trying to be forgiving, but an editor should have been paid to run through this manuscript at least once prior to printing and publishing.
