Well Done!

As a daughter of a MacLeod I was thrilled to find this book. I have searched for a book such as this. This is well written,detailed and not bogged down with so much technical background information one looses interest after the frist chapter. Many books on Magick are geared for the novice and it is refreshing to find that this book addresses the practioner. I have learned a great deal about the magick of my heritage, and in an informative and hands on manner.

Awesome Book

I love this book!! I have read this book cover to cover countless times. If your looking for a book that teaches very structured rituals that need alot of tools(athame, pentacle disk, boline, broom, chalice, etc.) then I would recomend going else where, But if your looking for a very simple, basic yet beautiful and fulfilling book on the scottish laypersons aspect to the craft than this book is for you. Not alot of hoopla and dogma here just folk magick, natural magick and a some great yet simple sabbat rituals. Awesome book for people who want to practice wicca/witchcraft of the common folk and not the more elaborate ceremonial magick of the rich folk of the day.

A WONDERFUL BOOK FOR THOSE WITH WISDOM!

A great book that i have used so many times the cover is falling off! Dr. Buckland got the information to write this book from the late Aiden Breac "a real life Scottish Witch" who lived all of 92 years,this book is anything but a fluff wicca book,this is a book that focuses predominantly on solitary ritual,and can be adapted to small circles of hedge witchs.For the uninformed, Pictish and Scottish are virtually one and the same,being that the Scots interbred with the Picts to the point of total absorption.In my opinion you cant go wrong with this book, but its important to know that the rituals are mostly for out of doors. True to Life PICTISH WITCHCRAFT IS WHAT YOU GET HERE.
