Very enlightening
I found this both interesting and enlightening. It was surprising to learn of the rise of this new interest in the old religions and the modern practices. As well as the increasing numbers of practitioners and the different forms it can take. The book is well researched and clearly explained.

good book whether a beginner or not
I recomend this to most heathens, regardless of type or how far along the oath they are.
some very good points of view which go against the grain, lots of good advice for beginners.
I'd like to see a follow on book with more detail on practices and gods etc while their is plenty out there I find the different take especially coming from a hereditary Heathen background quite interesting.

Interesting
I enjoyed this book, funnily enough i discovered it after listening to a podcast Dr Nordvig does with Daniel Farrand, knowing that he has a vast knowledge on all things Nordic i thought it would definitely be a good start
