Rating: 3.5/5 stars.

First, thank you to Mari Silva and Booksprout for the ARC of this book.

Now, the review: This is a guide for trolldom and nordic magic. A guide, since it touches the basics of this kind of magic. It includes the use of myths, herbs and potions, and the values that make the nordic culture the thriving, beautiful culture we all feel attracted to and love today.
The author shares a ton of information as to what it is Trolldom, how to use our natural resources and the history of the culture to add to our daily magical practices. It is really interesting, if a bit all over the place, but interesting and useful nonetheless. The book covers numerology, cord magic, the influence of colour, using the right resources, potions, as well as elf and dwarf magic.
The bit I couldn't connect to or didn't feel was necessary to add was the information of the weapons (in mythology), since I am sure it can be interesting to some, it just didn't feel like it belonged to me.

What I really appreciate and I'm sure it's going to be used by me regularly is the herb and potions section, since the author provides a great list of herbs with it's magical correspondence and uses.

I'm sure I'm going to consult this book many times in the future!
