I had not heard of the author or the title and was surfing through amazon when i came across it on their site.

As a serious student and book collector, i did enjoy Rae Beth's personal writing style.

The book as teaching goes, is indeed a great book for begginers and will inform and help in many area's of study and belief where witchcraft is concerned.

The book is a series of very personal letters written over a period of time to a married couple that the author knows, and was and is, a very thoughtful discourse to them.

She shares very practicle knowledge and has a keen awareness for the details many wiccan writers miss.

her teaching is solid in this book and her personal dialog with these people is very thoughtful and insightful.

I have ordered three of her other books and i hope they are as well written as this one was.

I found her attention to detail very helpful and her historical knowledge very practicle.

you will enjoy this book if you are serious about the practice of witchcraft.

I was revisting a Yule Episode of River Cottage in which Hugh Fernley-Whittingstall was looking for his Yule log and consulted his local Hedge Witch on the matter which lead me to this book being found. I settled on Rea's book after rejecting other books that were way too Wiccian.
The print format is good and allows me to underline and make notes on her lessons to her 2 friends.I will heartily recommend this book for those are new to the craft.
The Only negatives I have are that the need of a hedgewitch to have his/her feet firmley rooted into the land itself and that Plant and weatherlore is not addressed and that she refers to the Burning times which in England,Wales and the American Colonies never happened!,
Burning did happen on the Continent and in Scotland but that was more for heresy(if your were Catholic)than Witchcraft As a ex-Coven witch I found this a good book overall!

I just finished reading this book, and it is one of three that I decided to start with along my journey into natural spirituality. I am excited to read the next one by Rae Beth and continue my quest.

I ordered this book for a friend in America. The book arrived promptly and she is delighted with it. What more can I say LOL
