As a person who does not know much about specific Gods and Wiccan rituals, this book was a very good introduction. Being uneducated in Wiccan lore and Gods, I cannot say anthing about the accuracy, but having an interest in these areas, the books works great. The book is well organized and easily understood, with enough info about specific Gods with associated rituals given for all covered Gods.

One drawback is that it only covers Gods, and you have to buy the book "The Witches Goddess" to find out more about corresponding Goddesses, since most worship ritual and many other wiccan rituals usually call both a God and Goddess, not just one. However, the book only covers rituals involving a single God, so knowledge of Goddesses are not needed for the rituals in the book.

All and all, this books is great as an intro to Gods, Paganism, Wicca, and ritual, but not for advanced practice. It is a very useful guide to those new to practicing with or relating to Pagan Gods. It feels very Wiccan. Witches or pagans who are not Wiccan may find the book interesting, but would need to ignore the wiccan slant in how it's written. ( )

This is a very biased book with many inaccuracies. I keep it only as a reference knowing that what I read in it must be taken with a grain of salt. ( )

An interesting look at a variety of gods with some rituals to get some insights into the idea and aspects of them. ( )
