⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Greenfield offers a compelling argument for animism as a remedy for societal and environmental decay, grounding abstract political issues in spiritual practice. The inclusion of diverse activist voices adds necessary depth to the discussion on ancestral trauma. However, readers looking for traditional Wiccan liturgy or strict dogmatic adherence to ancient rites may find the focus on modern socio-political activism distracting or overly secular. It is not suitable for those who prefer esoteric theory detached from earthly consequences. The book demands emotional engagement with heavy topics like colonization and injustice, which may feel overwhelming to casual hobbyists seeking only light-hearted magical inspiration.
