3.0 out of 5 stars Not Your Average Cunningham Book, February 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Magic of Food: Legends, Lore & Spellwork (Llewellyn's Practical Magick Series) (Paperback)

This book is a nice addition to any Cunningham collector. Yes, it is a little under on his normal quality, but we have to remember that this was a revision of the original after he passed to the Summerland. His friends and family added additional things which they thought would benefit the book. I love it because it does emmulate Scott in a special way. I never knew him personally, but you can feel him in all his material. If you like other Cunninghams, I think you'll like this one as well, if you keep in mind it's very different from the others.

keep this book in my kitchen library instead of my pagan one. It's so useful. It's already well worn and much loved. Wish Scott was still with us for his warmth and knowdledge.

1.0 out of 5 stars Excellent idea, executed poorly., August 21, 1997

This review is from: Magic of Food: Legends, Lore & Spellwork (Llewellyn's Practical Magick Series) (Paperback)

Avoid this book. Poorly researched, with virtually nonexistant footnotes and a hit-and-miss, very small bibliography, this book purports to cover food-related magickal correspondences for all of Europe, the Americas, the Pacific Islands, etc.

Skimming this book, I noted an odd date for the introduction of the potato to Europe - checking the bibliography, I found that he referenced a *tertiary* source, which he admitted didn't have a bibliography of its own!

Any facts presented here are highly suspect due to the secondary and tertiary sources used. I took my copy back to the store and got a refund - save your money
