5.0 out of 5 stars
very promising,
By Katsurina (NB, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Green Witchcraft: Folk Magic, Fairy Lore & Herb Craft (Paperback)
This is the first book I read by Ann Moura, and it has definitely left me wanting more. First, I'll mention the writing style: it can be very formal at times, which can make it dry and hard to get into, at least compared to some other books I've read. It didn't bother me, but it did slow me down a bit when I first started reading. There is a new heading (or several) on almost every page, which can interfere with reading it straight through smoothly, but I immediately recognized that these could be incredibly helpful if I go back to reference the book, especially since the first few chapters are very long.The fairy lore portion of this book? If you are looking for fairy lore, get a different book. This is not at all a focus in this book. A few things are mentionned throughout the book, but there isn't a chapter on the subject. The book forcusses mainly on what the green path is, and how to work with it. She writes as a solitary, for a solitary, but includes recommendations for group work. She seems to understand how different every witch can be and she explains her path in such a way that it could be followed as she writes it, merged with your own path, or just offer some helpful perspectives that might influence you on your path. Her history is incredibly well researched, and really manages to put some perspective on some modern beliefs and practices. She explained very understandably where working with angels came from and why it is not really wiccan. She even explained something about the story of Cain and Abel that I couldn't stop thinking about for days. She explains her approach to ritual in detail, giving reasons for her key decisions well before the book turns into a series of rituals. Some of the rituals that are included are a funeral-type ritual and a rite of passage. I mention these because you don't see these very often. Including a ritual for a departed friend strikes me as evidence that the author really takes their path seriously as a life-long journey and commitment. Sabbat rituals are included (just like practically every book on witchcraft) and she includes a list of non-ritual activities to celebrate the sabbats. I usually find these more interesting that the published rituals, so I thought I'd mention them. On the green path itself, I'll mention a few things. It is very earthy. There is a lot of emphasis on the elements. It's not all about the elements, but I noticed there was more of an emphasis on them than a lot of other craft books had.

In my opinion this book is great for beginners. This book was the first one I bought about 5 years ago, and I feel it has everything a beginner should know packed into one place. I love the tables in the book which I refer to over and over again. I love all her books. If you are a beginner in the craft this book is one for you.

I'll keep this short. I recommend this book to students of all levels. Some may not like her Christian upbringing and whatever influence it may play in her own path, but it really doesn't impact the quality of the material presented. I have incorporated some of her path into my own and have found it very rewarding.
