Review: 📚⭐️The Traditional Essential Cornerstone!⭐️📚 - 📚 If you are genuinely interested in learning about Traditional Witchcraft (as opposed to Wicca or other modern paths), then "The Crooked Path: An Introduction to Traditional Witchcraft" is not just a book—it is the indispensable foundation you need. This work is a masterpiece of clarity, depth, and genuine wisdom, and it absolutely deserves its 5 star rating! ⭐️ What sets this book apart is its unflinching focus on the core concepts, history, and practice of the more cunning-craft and folk-magic stream of the craft. It avoids the fluff and New Age concepts often found in other introductory texts. Instead, it provides a rigorous, grounded, and intensely practical exploration of of many topics including: ● The Witch's Compass: Understanding the ritual space in a traditional context. ● The Land and Familiar Spirits: Establishing a deep, meaningful relationship with your local environment and the spirits within it. ● The Art of the Hedge: Detailed guidance on working with altered states of consciousness, astral travel, and spirit communication. ● Ethos and Practice: A sober discussion of the moral framework and core tools needed. 📚 The author’s voice is knowledgeable, respectful, and authoritative. They don't just give you a list of spells; they give you the philosophical and spiritual framework necessary help you become an even more traditional individual in your path! The book is dense with information, yet remains highly readable, encouraging thoughtful contemplation and slow, dedicated practice. ⭐️Pros: ● Authentic Focus: Purely focused on Traditional Witchcraft/Cunning Craft, not Wicca. ● Deeply Practical: Provides both theory and exercises for practice. ● Well-Researched and Grounded: Avoids sensationalism and fluffy concepts. ● Excellent Writing: Clear, engaging, and highly informative. 📚 If you are ready to walk the path less traveled and engage with a deeper, earth-based, and ancestor-informed practice, stop searching and buy this book! It's one of the only introduction you'll ever truly need. A modern classic and a mandatory read! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic!
*by J***W on March 17, 2021*

I cannot believe all of negative reviews about this book. I am a seasoned practitioner having practiced for many years now and I found this delightful tome quite refreshing. Even after years of practice I learned quite a bit from Kelden. This book is not meant to be a college course in Witchcraft. It is an introduction. One of the great things about this book is that Kelden presents the Arte in a non denominational form and gives the reader all of the tools to begin forming his/her own personal tradition. Kelden really gets what “Traditional” means. I also love the way he settles this silly bickering between Wiccans and Traditionalists in a sound peaceful manner. I have read a countless number of books on the subject and this one really stands out. It is the very best book for the beginner. Kelden is wise far beyond his years, I highly recommend this book. I also suggest checking out his YouTube channel as well. Kelden is one to keep an eye on as I see great things to come. No matter how experienced you are you will gain something new from this book. For me, it gave me a new perspective. In fact I have anyone that asks me to teach them read this book first. What Scott Cunningham did for Wicca, Kelden has done for Witchcraft.
