⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
This manual serves as a robust bridge between scholarship and active witchcraft, providing clear pathways to interact with Norse goddesses. However, it may not suit readers seeking purely historical or linguistic analysis of the Eddas, nor those uninterested in trance-based meditation or ritual performance. It assumes a willingness to engage in experiential magic rather than passive observation. The focus on Frigg and her associates is specific, which might limit its appeal to those devoted to other Norse deities like Odin or Thor. Nevertheless, for the intended audience, it offers a vital, practical toolkit for spiritual engagement that is often missing from general mythology texts.
