I was pleased to read the forward written by Judith Illes. The author describes Familiar Craft as magical and psychic working with spirits. He also states that this book is a work to Hecate. I love the author’s statement about no religion can stake claim to a spirit type.
There is a great list of prohibitions and boundaries to consider when working with spirits. I never considered divination as a part of mediumship. That was very interesting to read. The section on flying refers to astral travel, or journeying, which is something I am always interested in doing. The author also provides recipes for oils, ointments, and incense.
The chapter on Hecate’s keys is amazing. He goes into detail about each key, the description, what it does, and how to activate it. I really enjoyed the section on Faeries. I work them a lot, especially as a follower of the Faerie Faith, and the book gave me tips and hints while working with them. If you are interested in working with spirits, this is definitely a book worth considering.
