Everyday Herbal Teamaking by Glenna A. McLean
Did not finish book. Stopped at 58%.

I was curious about this book since I dabble in medicinal teas. I was disappointed that this book isn't up to the other two tea books I have. My biggest issue is that the author doesn't cite her sources. What actually made me stop was her claim that Juno was the queen of the Greek pantheon.

I kinda find it hard to give her grace on any of this, as she was an English teacher and I don't think she would have given that grace to her students on a final draft of a paper.

Race Class Women and the State by Tanya Schecter

challenging informative slow-paced

4.0

I found the book interesting, though it is rather dense/academic. The only bad thing was it disillusioned my (United States) view of Canada as being a better country than the one I live in.

The Goddess Revolution: Make Peace with Food, Love Your Body and Reclaim Your Life by Mel Wells
Did not finish book. Stopped at 15%.

While I didn't agree with how she talked about food, the thing that pushed me over/away from this book is that the author recommends disassociating from your body and treating it as a complete different entity from your personality. I ended up yelling at the book over this and my partner told me I was done.

Pagan Meditations: The Worlds of Aphrodite, Artemis, and Hestia by Ginette Paris
Did not finish book. Stopped at 41%.

I didn't do my due diligence first and it's not what I was excepting or wanting.

Trickster Magic: Tap Into the Energy and Power of These Irresistible Rascals by Kirsten Riddle

informative lighthearted

3.0

While likely a good jumping off point for learning about trickster gods and energy. I do have to say that one my need to research further than the 2 pages of info that is reserved for each of the tricksters in this book.
