83. An Honest Review of Thorn Mooney’s “Witches Among Us”
Manage episode 485900456 series 3598313
One year ago I put out this podcast’s first book review. It was for Annwyn Avalon’s Celtic Goddess Grimoire, and I absolutely hated it. It was everything I despise in modern witchcraft publishing, and it just left a bad taste in my mouth.
I felt like I needed to fix that.
So I decided to make it my mission to find a new witchcraft book I might actually like — to find something I could actually talk positively about to this show’s audience. And that’s when I found Thorn Mooney’s Witches Among Us: Understanding Contemporary Witchcraft and Wicca (ISBN: 978-0738777375) last fall.
And it turns out I really like it.
