Strixcraft review: a terrible book for ancient magic
CW for blood, blood offerings, sex, sexual assault, coercive sex magic, and historical misinformation.
THIS IS A DIFFERENT SORT OF POST, and I love book reviews. Unfortunately, I chose a book that ended up being unenjoyable for my first review and a warning for others practicing pharmakeia. Today I will be reviewing a book by Oracle Hekataios, a self-proclaimed oracle and priest of Dionysus and Hekate, an initiate of traditional Alexandrian Wicca, and a leader of a formal temple. Reading that I probably should have dodged it. However I was curious if this could be of use for my own pharmakeia and devotion to Helios as a historically inspired magic deity. As always, opinions are my own, and feel free to disagree with my points. If I have misinterpreted something, I apologise in advance.
