This book reads like a light and fun collection of owl and mythology trivia, and the collected rituals and spells are nicely presented and thought out. However, the folklore facts listed do not always seem to relate clearly to a central idea, and many of the references listed seem to be fairly weak sources for information. I think this is a fun and information-packed read for someone who has a general interest in Wiccan thought specifically, or an interest in fun owl facts. That said, I would not consider this to be of any particular academic value in regards to folklore due to the dubious nature of the sourcing, and I think that I would recommend this on a very case-by-case basis for people with really particular interests of a personal nature (rather than academic.) Overall, not a bad read by any means- just not quite to my tastes.

If you have any interest in owls, either for spiritual/magickal workings or just because they are beautiful creatures, this is a great book to start with. I loved how this book was broken down into easy to read and use sections, many with their own workings/spells/rituals. The author performed a lot of research and has a close tie with owls herself; this is evident in the quality of information provided and how deep into details most of the book dives. Particularly, the section on the history and divine connection to owls was so nice to see. This is something that is usually left out when reading about magickal or guiding animals. The artwork throughout this book is stunning. This book is a great starting off point for anyone interested-you will learn history, use, and correspondences that can easily be adapted to your own practice.
