Jackson's book is loaded with fascinating practices, incantations, artwork, and rituals. The rituals are not meant to be precise recreations of ancient witchcraft rites (after all, many of the practices were recorded by those who were antagonistic towards them); rather, they're meant to be modern interpretations of the age-old practices to the best of our ability. Jackson insists practicing them "in the spirit" is more important than simply mimicking practices that once had very real motives and meaning, practices we couldn't possibly fully understand or relate to in the modern world.
My only gripe with the book was the typos. This is common with Capal Bann books. One section describing the dying of human bones (red) by using various pigments read, "iron peroxide was often employed". Obviously they meant "iron oxide", or rust. Publishing houses need to quit relying on Spellcheck as their sole editor. ( )
