The term common magick was new to me and I was glad the author provided a definition for it. The book is mainly based on British-based folklore traditions. I was glad to see ethics included in this book since it is a very important subject and should be considered when performing any type of magic. I love the magical checklist included in Chapter 6.
The book is written in an easy-to-understand format. The author does an excellent job presenting the material so that the reader, no matter the skill level, will find knowledge in every section. This book is so complete and covers so many topics. If you like Buckland’s big blue book, you will enjoy this as another valuable resource.
