I own a physical copy of this book, so my review is for the paperback.
I resonate with Konstantinos due to him being Greek, I have eclectic beliefs, that includes the Roman, Greek, Norse pantheons, Dark Goddesses & Daemons I know of one of my past lives in Ancient Rome, so what the author is saying about Gods & Goddesses resonates with me.
The path of night & being a nightkind resonates with me as well.
I don't believe in the New Age love & light, positive only vibes, toxic positivity, that denies that the dark part of the self even exists, these types of people don't do shadow work and it shows, they are the most likely to experience spiritual psychosis.
This is a good book to start with if you are new to practicing witchcraft, it's good to learn the basic principles of witchcraft first, then you can focus more on what does or doesn't resonate with you and what works best for you as a individual person, solitary witch, not all witches believe in Deities, not all witches celebrate the sabbats, solstices or equinox's either, it depends on the type of witch they are and the type of witchcraft they practice, not all spiritual paths includes witchcraft though.
I own the author's other books, so I am intending to read them next.
I have read the first portion of the book, it's interesting even though the explanation for the godform assumption & casting & circle, banishing ritual seems a bit complicated & I wouldn't say it's beginner friendly if you're new to the craft.
I need to study & learn the basic principles of witchcraft, protecting my energy, consecrating objects/items that will be magical tools, or statues & other items that represent the Deities or offerings I want to give to Deities I want to work with.
Raising energy, grounding energy etc .
There is a lot to learn.
I don't have privacy to openly practice witchcraft like I want to unfortunately.
There are various methods for establishing a strong bond/connection with Deities over time, but it takes a long time to develop.
If you have psychic/intuitive/empathic abilities it will make it a lot easier to use your intuition & spiritual to communicate with the Deities you want to with, it will be a lot easier to perceived their energy, presence & influence whenever you interact with them.
