The biggest problem with this book is that it isn't a good book on wicca and it isn't a good book on Odinism, leaving it in a no-man's-land inbetween the two. People interested in wicca are better off with something by Buckland or Cunningham or any of the other decent wiccan authors, and people looking for heathen books are better off with anything else but this. The back of the book is extremely deceptive, although the author is slightly more honest in his introduction. The mythology and lore found in the book are useless as is the rune information. The few useful bits on mead and drinking horns just aren't enough to make the book worth the money. This is one man's practices and opinions and provides an interesting look at what Ed Fitch believes, but will be useless for beginning asatruar and wiccans and pointless to those with more expereince.
