Interesting! I have a strong interest in the history of witchcraft throughout the world, and I have to say that this book is one of the more interesting ones I’ve read. I was more into the history side of it than for the actual spells, but I also found the spells fascinating and unique from others I’ve come across in other books on witchcraft. For me, the biggest highlight was the chapter on cemeteries and death rituals. I’m also a death historian, so this was something that was particularly up my alley. Absolutely fascinating. Natasha Helvin writes with clarity in a way that’s easy to understand, and I definitely feel like I have a stronger understanding of the history of Slavic witchcraft. I’d recommend this book to anyone with similar interests, and I’d say it’s a must read for fellow death historians!
