Witches, Werewolves, and Fairies: Shapeshifters and Astral Doubles in the Middle Ages by Claude Lecouteux

4.0

This was an interesting read. It deals with the idea of the Double in Scandinavia in particular and Europe more generally. It explores many different folktales, historic accounts, and other writings to illustrate how we have held onto idea even now though we are less aware of it than our forebears.

The only thing that I don't think quite worked for this book is that in many places you feel as though you entered a conversation that has already been ongoing and you're not quite sure how it got started. Despite this it's an informative read and the topic is fantastic.
