A wonderful audio journey

This book is amazing. If you feel drawn to it in any capacity then you will certainly gain something from listening. The content is deep, practical and otherworldly at the same time.

It's ok...

There is a decent bit of useful information in this book and it's fairly well written, however, it does seem to have a strongly feminist approach to the subject. If that's your style, this book is for you. If however you happen to be a practicing male, this may not be the best read for you...

BRAVO! Enchanting, inspiring, well-researched!

Well organized chapters and practical magical ideas with up-to-date material included. This book is a resource that is so dense I will be buying a paper copy to re-read, mark up, and write notes in the margins. Each chapter has a hands-on recommendation for those so inclined.

This book enchanted me to the point that I took screen shots of sections and made my friend listen to them in my car. YES, it’s THAT GOOD. Listening to this book will expand your knowledge of past (and present) magic and has an inspirational tone throughout. If you are on the fence about dabbling in magic, this book will likely push you to give it a try. I recommend this for anyone interested in folklore or “witchy history” and magical practitioners new and old or those living in areas rich with folklore. 10/10

Well-Researched and Respectful

Hutcheson has compiled an impressive and thorough dive into many aspects of folk practice in North America, and it's a volume that I expect to prove its value time and time again in my own practice. The narration, though, while good in tempo and tenor, suffers from jarring (and occasionally wince-worthy) mispronunciations of words such as "LWA" (capitalized here to prevent confusion, and which the narrator pronounces throughout as "ee-wah"). All-in-all, however, an excellent resource!

Everything I Wanted!

This book is very respectful and insightful. there's so much good information in this book that I'm excited to listen to it again!

wonderful and comprehensive adventure

informative well written and entertaining, a rare combo, it makes one want to check out the authors podcast. wonderful reading and experience in general.

Then relationship between multiple practices and the stories there in

There was frequent repetition of certain stories without any variation and was stated in the same format without a new perspective

Highly recommended

I bought this book from a recommendation and I’m sooooo happy I did because at first I thought I didn’t need to dive into folklore but this book made it fun and so knowledgeable, I have such a new appreciation for folklore and the imagery this book painted in my mind. It feels like a reawakening inside me happened while listening to it. I appreciate the journey this book took me through.

Much more useful as a physical copy

If you are a practitioner of witchcraft looking for inspiration, do yourself a favor and buy a physical copy of this book. It is very dense with information and you will drive yourself crazy trying to bookmark everything.

Wow!

So much information. Lots of references and overall knowledge. I will be re listening to take it all in once again.
