A. Rivera reviewed Hekate by Courtney Weber
Quick impressions of "Hekate"
5 stars
I recommend the book for public and academic libraries. Public libraries that already collect pagan and esoteric materials will want this one. It's accessibility is a plus for readers. Academic libraries may want to add it as well. It certainly stands up with other pagan and esoteric academic materials. This is one I would order for our academic library.

This is a book to read a bit at a time. It is timely, and it is informative. If you want to learn more about how billionaires got where they are now, how they stay there, and what they do to keep their dynasties going, then you need to read this book.
