There is an article in this book about cultural appropriation that I was particularly interested in. Imagine my disappointment when the author, rather than taking the opportunity to discuss the issue, mostly demurs about how she’s being respectful, therefor the appropriation is okay. In addition, the author seems to have a very flimsy grasp on what cultural appropriation is and how it works.

There were certainly some good articles here, but none so profound as to cancel out a few really bad ones. The piece on cultural appropriation in particular read more like a rant on a subject the author didn’t take the time to properly research. A guide to clean eating came off as borderline orthorexic. A few more were so laden with New Age buzzwords that they were hard to follow.

There was a lot of useful information in here and I adored all the little drawings
Only really enjoyed a couple essays. Most were very strange or very, very Wicca centered. I wish there were more secular witchcraft essays included.
This is more of a periodical, with more long-form articles about a wide range of topics from more beginner friendly or crafting items, to more witchy history, to other practices. I generally found a lot of them to have good ideas but felt a little underwhelmed by some of the articles (the pagan mourning and color magic ones particularly). There were a few (the beginner one and the one on cultural appropriation) where it is a good place to lead people to (or give words when you see other people a

And then, when I thought that I could not be more beaten raw to my barest elements with hard knowledge, this books passes under my readership to console the sores and soften the hard edges.
Like a balm, "Here you go, missus; something to fortify your faith in the Unknown and heal what dents your brain has had to endure in order to fit the hard things in life."

Fantastic resource book for Wiccans. I highly recommend this to anyone who practices.
Highly enjoyable
Another wonderful edition of essays about the craft. My only regret, that I am unable (at this time) to purchase the 2019 edition. :)
It's fine.
