Myddle Earth Magazine wrote - "This is a most delightful book. With so many revamped Pagan books on the market now it's refreshing to find something which truly comes from the heart. It doesn't matter if you're new to Paganism or have been practising all your life. The book is a delight to read. It isn't a learning book although there's lots to learn from it."
