This book was a page turner in that it had a storyline along with a lot of insightful information regarding the practices of Witches. Though it was maybe a bit dramatically written (as someone who tends toward the overdramatic, I'm not judging - I'm just saying), this usually tended to be beautiful, not melodrama. (But perhaps I am just jealous of the beauty and serenity of the experiences she described.)
This book is a good initiation for anyone who wants to know more about what modern-day Witches do and why. If you're looking for trouble or hysteria, be warned: it's real life, not newts and curses. Describes the respect for others and nature that most Witches embrace.
In the Appendix, there is a very nice Table of Correspondences, several Spells and a description of the Wheel of the Year. Also a thorough Resource List (with mags, centers, catalogs and events) and a list of Books of Interest that I thought was pretty on the money.
Overall, this is a good read for fun (even if not interested in Witches/Wicca), especially for women as the story focuses on her professional life in the music industry with a misogynist boss aptly named Hadus. Slightly feminist but mostly just realist and full of wonderful details of the Witches in her coven and their rituals and spells.
