Sandra on Instagram: "REVIEW: I have to admit that I'm disappointed. This book has been hyped so much and so many have recommended it that my expectations where very high. Of Blood and Bones is a good book. It is well written and it has many interesting ideas and inspirations. There are lots of recipes, spells and rituals and many of them can be useful. What I'm missing is depth. This book is written like a standard beginners book. We have lots of lists and like I said many prefabricated recipes, rituals aso. And even though I admit that this might be helpful for some beginners and maybe inspiring to some advanced practitioners I have to say that I'm tired of this. For example, I don't want a list of Gods and Goddesses that the author considers to be “dark”. I really don't wanna see those lists anymore. Instead I would prefer a chapter about WHY some of them are seen as “dark”. What is it with these entities? Are they really “dark”? In which way do they differ from other Gods and Goddesses? Are they even different at all? Do those Gods and Goddesses who are considered to be “light” also have a “dark” side? And so on and so forth, you get the idea. I want to know the Whys! And there is one more thing. Many of the recipes and spells have to be used with caution. That's okay and Freuler reminds the reader regularly to be cautious. But there is this one spell/ritual that should have a Trigger Warning or something like that, cause it's a spell that ritualizes self-harm in a dangerous way. This could be very harmful. All in all Of Blood and Bones is a nice book. I wish Kate Freuler would have left the lists out, told us more about the whys and had gone way more into depth. I don't really know more about “Shadow Magick” or “Working with the Dark Moon” now, but it has been an interesting and inspirational read nonetheless. I would recommend it - with reservations - to advanced beginners that are looking for inspiration for working with body-fluids, animal corpses, insects and bones. (I'm not payed for this and i bought the book myself. ) ____________________________________ #OfBloodAndBones #witchybooks #witchybookshelf #witchybookreview #darkmagic #shadowmagic #darkmoon"
