I found this book difficult to read as I am unsure which audience Cyndi is aiming at with this book. Sometimes it reads as a beginners guide to Wicca and then switch to an advance Wicca guide to initiation guide to a deity. To inviting new reads to her blog and then assume all the reads are following her blog and some times written as Cyndi personal autobiography. This book could have been split into 3 different titles with more detail and would have gain Cyndi more audience for her works.

The other annoying thing and this my do with my scientific and librarian back ground is the lack or the badly referencing used as I am assuming like most Wiccans' myself include read and research what we want to know widely. This can be easily fix by hiring someone or learning to do this properly so her work and research she has done is well recognized.

After all this I did take some positives from this, the hymns and chants were beautiful and powerful. It also gave me some more information I need to make imitation even if I don't think I am ready for the next step. I really liked the person story/journey part and would like a book more on that part.

The lesson part which was really the main focus of the book I found to be good but the instructions a bit weak. Example guide meditation with words is hard to do when reading at the same time. Either rough guide to visualization and allow the person meditating on their own way of doing it or sell on your blog the audio for guide meditation. The lessons would be easier to follow if in dot points instead of paragraphs as this can get people lost quiet easily which is a shame as the lesson themselves are quiet detailed.

These are my opinions this format my make sense to someone else give it a try and see what you think. Thanks for Netgallery for giving me access to this title.
