there's a lot of great thought in here that, coming from a more SASS-witchy point of view, i find myself connecting with—radical acceptance of chronic illness, for example, is something i've also found very helpful in my life as a whole. i would love if there was more actual acknowledgement of cultural appropriation besides brushing it off, as well as discussion of the history of stolen land when cultivating a relationship to the natural world, but there were also parts of this book that i found myself pleasantly surprised by (such as the otherkin shoutout, which i didn't expect). i would recommend reading this book if you're quite new to your practice and trying to figure out where to start with the caveat that it is ultimately very much a book written by a white lady with limited perspective
