The book is well researched and written, the author’s dedication to the lore and spirituality is evident in the text. The material is laid out well, moving from background to practical application in a very useful way. The book is rich with spells and rituals, complete with all the information you need to adapt these as needed for your own practice. As a guide for regional magic, it checks all the boxes.
Personally, however, it just didn't bring anything new to the table. It felt very reminiscent of the 1990s-era popular magic resurgence. That makes it a classic Llewellyn text, and these have their place and may be very useful to those who practice this way, but it just wasn't my jam. That doesn’t make it a bad book, in fact it is a great book, just not for me. However, I would still recommend it as an informative read on the cultures and customs of the region even if it isn't your style of practice.
