Well done!

Very well put together. Doesn't have ALL the info I want, but it's also a smaller book. Good resource.

A starting point...

This book is a good starting point for both Wiccans and Heathens because it lays down the frame-work for what the seeker wants out of his or her religious path. If you want cold hard facts on the Heathen way, then this book is only good for its mythology. If you are seeking a Germanic style of Wicca, then this is your book. The idea behind the book is an excellent one (way too many people are bashing it) and there is room for change and growth. This book is not based on fact...heck, a lot of spiritual books aren't based on fact, so don't take everything the author says as the "ultimate" truth. It is inexpensive and easy to read.

My first book of magick

I bought this book years ago and to this day it is the one book that I have had the most success with. DJ Conway is one of my favorite author for no other reason than if you buy one of her books you've bought them all. But that is not to say that information is not good and easy to use. I thank Ms. Conway for introducing the world of magick to me.

Good Info on New Norse Ways

This book is filled with information for those who follow an earth based spirituality and are interested in adding a Norse flair to their work. The author writes in a simple and clear manner, explaining how some Norse ways can be worked into wiccan and earth based ritual. The chapter on runes is especially nice, with simple drawings of each rune and a list of correspondances for them. This book also teaches a simple way to create and read runestones. I like this book because it gives the practicioner today a gentle and simple way to follow norse spirituality without having to call themselvs "Traditional" or "Odinist"...I dont believe the author intended her work to be viewed as the only authority oon norse magic, Its just another way for people to add to their spirituality. Blessings
