Unfortunately, Ken passed into the Summerland last year at this time and I inherited his library. Although I had a considerable library of my own, his books have added a great deal of variety and interest. This was one of the events which sparked my interest in doing book reviews on line. Unless a book happens to have something outstanding in it, which separates it from others on the same subject, I will be recommending only those which I believe best cover the material. Here are some of the things that I consider when reading a Wiccan or Pagan-themed book.
Paganism has too many paths, too many valid ways of looking at things.
You can tell a lot about a book by glancing at the index. I HATE not having an index of some sort in a book, even if it is in the table of contents. I will try my best to locate similar volumes on the topic which provide proper research material. In my opinion it reduces the enjoyment of the book. I have become very discouraged with some of the publishers lately.
