I had high hopes for "Wiccan Year of Commitment," but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The book lacked depth and failed to provide a comprehensive guide to practicing Wicca throughout the year. The rituals and exercises were superficial and repetitive, and the author failed to delve into the spiritual significance behind them. Moreover, the writing style was dry and uninspiring, making it difficult to engage with the material. Overall, I was disappointed with this book and would not recommend it to those seeking a meaningful exploration of Wicca.
2. Michael - 1 star
I found "Wiccan Year of Commitment" to be extremely misleading. The title implies that this book offers a year-long commitment to Wicca, but in reality, it is nothing more than a compilation of basic Wiccan rituals and spells. There was no real guidance or structure provided for someone looking to commit to Wicca for a year. Additionally, the content seemed disorganized and lacked coherence, making it difficult to follow along. I was left feeling frustrated and unsatisfied with this book, and I would advise others to seek out more comprehensive resources for a genuine year-long commitment to Wicca.
