Reviews for "Unraveling the Mysteries of Cornish Witchcraft: A Book of Ancient Rituals"
1. John - 2 Stars
I was really disappointed with "Heritage Witchcraft: A Cornish Book of Rituals." The rituals described in the book felt outdated and lacked depth. I was looking for a more contemporary and comprehensive guide to Cornish witchcraft, but this book fell short. The writing style was also a bit inaccessible and could have been more engaging. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book to those seeking a truly insightful and practical guide to witchcraft in Cornwall.
2. Sarah - 1 Star
I found "Heritage Witchcraft: A Cornish Book of Rituals" to be incredibly uninformative and poorly structured. The rituals felt disjointed and often didn't provide enough context or explanation. The lack of depth was disappointing, especially as a newcomer to witchcraft. The book seemed more focused on reciting rituals without providing a strong foundation for understanding their purpose or significance. I wish I had spent my money on a more instructional and comprehensive resource instead of this disappointing book.
