Book Review: For Those of Us of Nightkind, A Breath of Fresh, Nocturnal Air
Summary: 5 Stars
**A Review from a Husband and Wife Team**
*Stephen*
I've been a practicing Wiccan and Neo-Pagan since 1997, when I first heard the call of the God and Goddess during a blustery, summer-warm, wind-blown night in June around a roaring bonfire on some state forest land near my hometown in Michigan.
Since that time, I've been meandering around the various modern tomes of Neo-Pagan wisdom and practice. I've read and studied Cunningham, Silver Ravenwolf, and others, and as time went on, I found more relevant material (to me) in the works of Robert A. Monroe, after having a few out-of-body experiences of my own.
Things kind of cooled after that, and I remained in a state of spiritual flux for many years, until, once again, I heard the call of the God and Goddess in my heart once again, this time seeming a bit more insistent.
Enter into Nocturnal Witchcraft by Konstantinos.
This volume opened my eyes to a powerful truth that I have been experiencing since I was a small child entranced by the stars in the night sky, and feeling the warm currents of the night air upon my skin during the course of many a northern Michigan summer. As I began--and continue--to study and read through the pages of Nocturnal Witchcraft, I find that I am being reunited not only with the energies of my nighttime youth, but also the various, multifaceted, elements of the darker hours that I have been experiencing since my first, tentative foray into the world of the nighttime realm.
I find the chapters clear, concise, relevant, and reasonably thorough. I enjoy Konstantinos' short personal stories, and feel they add a dimension of personal authenticity to the volume as a whole. Since my path is eclectic, I don't require a heavy compendium of ritual, pomp, and circumstance.
Nocturnal Witchcraft has enough meat, force, and power within its pages to provide for many a night of thought-provoking happenings. Likewise, it is an easy enough read for the eyes of the nighttime neophyte.
I would heartily recommend this book! FIVE STARS!
*Jennifer*
Being a solitary practitioner, I feel it's important to educate myself the best that I can. I have read a variety of books dealing with Wicca and Witchcraft, including scholarly works from Richard Hutton (Triumph of the Moon), and a decidedly straightforward (and un-fluffy, in my opinion) Thea Sabin, and works from the Father of Solitary Practice, Cunningham himself.
Granted, I was a bit wary when my husband picked up this book. While some of Konstantinos' sources are EXTREMELY fluffy (Ravenwolf, McCoy, Conway) he's got a fairly firm grip on mythology, and cites from very solid scholarly works when it comes to that area.
I wouldn't say this is specifically a Wicca 101 book, but I do think it would be a nice supplement, especially for those who are looking for new ideas and ritual (especially night-themed rituals); or are drawn to nighttime energies such as are my husband and myself.
I think people should also keep this in mind: every single spell and ritual that Konstantinos has written down is something that he has tried out, and has found success with, himself -- he definitely gets credit for originality. He's also very firm about the fact that if a certain ritual or spell doesn't work for you, that you can alter it -- pretty straightforward if you ask me.
I also give this book five stars, simply for the fact that it's something original, and it will definitely give you some new ways to practice the Craft.
