 Nice book, but I got a promo copy instead of a complete one! August 19, 2008
I guess I shouldn't buy used books, because I got a copy of this off Half-com that was supposedly in Very Good condition and they sent me a promo book, without illustrations! I mean, that was half the reason I wanted this book, because I am not familiar with these goddesses and would like to study their pictures to make me more acquainted with them!
Disappointment aside, I like this book. I like the fact she uses goddesses I haven't normally encountered via Welsh myth and some I know a little bit from Norse Mythology. I had a problem with her a/b/c approach to magic, which I guess she got from Silver Ravenwolf, which states how you react to a problem, like if you hear people shouting, do you: Get your bat and run to the door to help, call 911 or do nothing. Well, if you live the city, like I do, people yell out all sorts of crazy things and have the time, even if they are yelling "help", sometimes they are kidding. If I ran out with a bat to defend someone every time I heard people yelling, I would upset a lot of people, become a laughing stock and maybe get myself stabbed. To me, this a/b/c system isn't the best way to tell you what kinds of magick you should do, like if you run outside with a bat at the basic sense of danger, why does that make you able to do all magick, while if you call 911, that makes you only able to do this or that magically? Just because I'm not an idiot walking about with a stick doesn't mean I am a bad witch, it means I am a cautious one and not enough pagans are taught caution. I feel new readers to the craft might get the wrong idea here. Maybe this part could be explained better in the next edition.
But other than that, the book is nice, great illustrations, though in my promo copy there are only two, I really would like to see the rest. The meditations look like they would be good for the beginner or advanced pagan and her writing style is practical, she explains the theory of magic well, even high vs. low, etc. I like the goddesses she has selected and the activities are nice.
I gave this 4 stars because of the a/b/c thing, not because of getting a promo copy. I look forward to trying to buy another copy of this so I can get the full effect, so if you want to buy an used copy, write the seller first and make sure you get a non-promo copy. Practice caution!

I love this book! It's a wonderful blend of information and ways of connecting with the Goddesses of the Norse and Celtic pantheons. Skye has a great writing style...knowledgeable, sassy and light.
Love the parts about the Welsh Goddesses!
