Summary: Fiona Horne is ONLY ONE AUTHOUR in this book..
Review: Hey.. just wanted to say that Fiona Horne simply EDITED this book, contributing a couple of articles. It has many good articles in it from other Pagans and those who walk Paths similar to Pagan in style, including Iya Ta'shia and David Wolfe (Avocodo) from the Mad Mad House series. This is a good compilation of material and DISINFORMATION ROCKS. I would recommend this book, but I do agree that Fiona's whole pop-icon image in association with the Craft is aggrivating, though she is playing her part in the evolution of human consciousness nonetheless.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A hodge podge of infomation
Review: I found this book last week and perused it, only to misplace an hour and a half in it. What a fab book, not preachy and silly like most books on the subject where a grand high hoo-hoo tries to bludgeon you with their opinion. I would recommend it for any new seeker or old school practitioner.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not bad
Review: I have not bought Hornes other books because I just find her pop image and style a bit twee .This one is more interesting and presents quite a few viewpoints so isnt bad for a quick read .Can entertain you if you want some pagan news bits but dont get it if you are seeking new ideas

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A hodge podge of infomation
Review: This book is okay if you like general info but I am afraid I like books on the craft to really stimulate me .I dont mind some of Ms hornes other books although her comments on satanism in her first book I personally dont agree with as I do not believe in looking his way at all .

I found this to be alright if you are a beginner but not advanced and wont be buying it .

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Lots of interesting material here
Review: This is the sort of book I would choose for someone who already knows a little bit about the Craft and wants to find out more. What we find here is an enormous collection of different voices, thoughts, experiences, facts, and possibilities, which someone totally new might find intimidating. But in this extraordinary variety, hopefully nearly everyone will find something to catch their attention and interest.

This is more of an anthology of lots of different author's work, rather than a sustained exploration of Fiona Horne's own ideas. I must admit I found a little bit disappointing. How much of the work was Fiona's? So it would seem, very little. Surely Fiona could have told us more about what life is like for someone in the public eye who practices a strange minority religion, and what possibilities for the future of the craft in popular culture exist. I ended up wanting to know more about the other contributors. I suppose that is good for the community as a whole, but at the same time it was not quite what I expected.

But overall, and after my second look, I was happy with it. I hope Fiona continues to write, to make music, and to empower new young witches by presenting herself as an example of an empowered young witch.
