Reader reviews for The Crooked Path: An Introduction to Traditional Witchcraft
Review summary
Readers were sharply divided. Many praised the book as an accessible, well-organized introduction that favors hands-on exercises, bioregionalism, and folklore-driven, land-rooted practice; several found it inspiring for those past the very first steps. Critics argued it largely rebrands Wiccan ideas as “Traditional Witchcraft” (e.g., Witch Father/Mother), relies too heavily on witch-trial confessions, and blends cultures without sufficient context, with some sections feeling vague or rushed (especially spirit work). Opinions on level varied: some found it beginner-friendly, others thought it too basic or, conversely, assuming prior skills. Most agreed it’s useful as a primer with good prompts and references, but not definitive.
