Summary: nonsequitorial analogy
Comment: There is some valuable knowledge contained within this one for a Pagan who is pursuing information about the Horned God/Herne/Cernunnos; but due to the authors style, the reader must be able to synthesis/deduce meaning from paragraphs which are often disjointed and used as nonsequitorial analogy.

Summary: excellent material
Comment: It is too bad to see that this book, as well as the authors other books, namely "Call of the Horned Piper" and "Compleat Vampyre" are becoming scarce. Nigel Jackson has made a lot of important observations that bear upon the "Old Ways" that no one who is serious about Wicca can afford to ignore. I would give Jackson's books fewer stars, except that the material is so good. He isn't all that good a writer, and it isn't all that easy to follow him. Often he throws ideas together in ways that are distracting and that make one wonder if he knows how to develope his subject. He would have benefited by having a good editor. Howbeit, what's most important is that he does present this deeply interesting material, and it is up to the reader to absorb and use it. If used in Wiccan practice, the material will bring a depth of experience that is most authentic and powerful. Nigel Jackson is very deeply immersed in the oldest form of Eurasian sacred shamanistic magic that there is - at least 200,000 years old, and it's still alive and kicking.

Summary: Masculine Traditions
Comment: This book takes a more anthropological overview of the European Horned God and makes comparitives between other cultures. It also takes a look at the integration and development of concepts and beliefs surrounding the Horned God. This is then intermixed with various pieces of folklore an tradition which incidently found within traditional Witchcraft. So, you not only understand the information but also understand where it came from and how it developed.
