Surprisingly well done

Revisado: 11-28-18

I had high expectations for the content of this book, since its generally one of the more recommended books within traditional witchcraft circles, but I wasn't expecting the narration to be good. I figured the quality would suffer since it was almost certainly a low budget production. Books this niche aren't known to be money makers. Honestly, I wasn't expecting an Audible version to exist at all; that never happens with magic books.

Tracey Norman did an excellent job with narration. Her voice is clear, easy to listen to, and over all enjoyable. Sometimes the cuts and transitions between sections, especially transitions to the male narrator who reads quotes, feel sloppy, EQ may change drastically for example, but these are minor issues.

Gemma, of course, wrote a great overview of a living trad-craft practice. Some of it we find in similar books from other Cochrane inspired authors, but the Cornish folk practice and mythological lens is a valuable one that needed to be documented in a practical way. The book certainly succeeds there. If I had one complaint, it would be that this is indeed an overview. Few topics within the books are explored in great depth. There are more in depth books out there on just about every topic covered here. I suppose the real purpose of the book then is the synthesis (or re-synthesis?) of all these little pieces into one unified tradition.

I applaud the author and publisher for making the effort to bring this title to audible, and I really hope more of the occult publishing world follows suit soon.
