The story of a young Irish girl who dives into sorcery and experiments with different magical traditions. She meets a wise man who dwells in a forest, who teaches her about overcoming her fears and trusting in the goodness of the world; and a woman who teaches her how to dance to the music of the world, and how to pray to the moon. As she seeks her destiny, she struggles to find a balance between her relationships and her desire to become a witch.
The book is full of short, memorable sections that could fill any page with “thoughtful quotes”. But there is not much of a plot and the focus is more on words than a story. Which make it lack depth.
There are also quite a bit focus on gender differences and stereotyping that I disliked.
i don't agree with some of the stuffs mentioned in the book, like the discrimination between men and women and stuff like that.
But there were also stuff on the book that is really good.
