I saw a review already on here that compared this book, correctly, to Eat Pray Love. My issues with this book are numerous. Some of them are simple issues I have with the questionable way she reveals knowledge from a mystery religion (which, honestly, who the fuck thinks that's ok?) and the way in which she seems to be perfectly content with exploiting real believers for the sake of her writing. Maybe that's all petty and perhaps I'm completely misreading Ms Mar's work. However, I also just think, at it's core, this is a poorly written work. She jumps back and forth between time lines and between parts of her own story and the story of witchcraft as a whole. Pieces don't fit together as well as they could and that's a shame because there is a wealth of information on the subjects that she's talking on. I had a lot of high hopes for this book but honestly this isn't what I wanted or expected.
