I found several of the articles in this collection thought-provoking and even jotted down a few notes for further research when I have the time. As it is published by Llewellyn the book is heavily weighted towards Wiccans and Neo-Wiccans and other similar earth-based spiritual paths. If you are not among those, this companion can still be of service. You might find a spell in here that fits with your work (with or without a little tweaking) and there is always the chance of learning something new and learning how other people think.

The articles are a fairly quick read and if you have some time in the coming months, I would set aside a few hours and thumb through this companion.

Meh. Llewellyn publishes so many of this sort of book that I thought I would pick one up to see what they were like. After looking through it, I am surprised they make enough money on these year after year to continue publishing them. This is basically a collection of articles written by members of the pagan community on a variety of pertinent topics: some were interesting, but most of them were fairly boring, or too niched to apply to anyone. I enjoyed the articles by Monica Crosson, Autumn Damiana, and Emyme particularly, but nothing in this book is going to stick with me for very long. I will probably not seek out another of these books.
