5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference Book, January 10, 2009
While the entries are brief compared to some other books on this subject, it's still a fairly impressive source for names of various entities found in the world's mythologies and religions (over 400 pages).

I've found it to be helpful when I'm reading a book that makes a reference to the name of a deity or demon, and I just want to look it up quickly to get a basic idea of the entry.

The first appendix covers functions, aspects, and spheres of competence. The second appendix covers symbols, attributes, and motifs.

I also reocmmend A Field Guide to Demons, Fairies, Fallen Angels and Other Subversive Spirits.
