Through the Woods by E.M. Carroll

Beautiful artwork! The short stories are cute, but lackluster.
I read a couple of stories with my 10 year old nephew and even he was mostly just perplexed and disappointed by the endings instead of intrigued or even mildly spooked. Like me, he did love the art though.

Maybe a couple of new tidbits, as I’ve read other books on ADHD, but mostly an overall good reminder. It’s a little repetitive here and there, but given it’s target audience I don’t blame him

Stories are hit or miss (when they hit, they hit and when they miss, they miss) but overall enjoyable

Great for historical info and sources, but I don’t think you can apply much to your practice as it feels fairly inaccessible

A few gems, but otherwise same old Rupi Kaur inspired shallow insta-poetry

I’m going to get my nitpick out of the way first: this book could’ve had a little tighter editing, there can be some repetition sometimes within just a few sentences (one example being the fylgjar entry). But like I said, a nitpick.
I loved Ryan Smith’s Way of Fire and Ice and Spinning Wyrd didn’t disappoint. There’s so much here, including comments from other practitioners such as Esteban Sevilla that resonate with me so much.
Of course I haven’t done all the exercises yet (I’ll be slowly making my way through), but the description of Breathing Fire and Ice made me tear up:
“Will help you loosen the hard lines imposed by the world around you … can also be used to give yourself a burst of energy for mystical workings or to help swiftly shift focus in times of stress and difficulty.”
The last few years have been exhausting: professionally, personally; I lost my faith in humanity as a whole and even fell out of my spiritual practice. This was a nice kick to the butt.
I look forward to more from Smith!
