![]() ![]() ![]() I found this encyclopedia was easy to use, despite a few formatting errors/typos. I do recall that some deities were noted to only respond to their own people/those whose ancestors would have worshipped this deity or come from the deity's homelands. I hope that the rest of the metaphysical community is putting enough emphasis on the importance of respecting closed practices that readers that are new to this stuff would have an idea of what's appropriate and what's not. While I honestly can't remember if the author has a disclaimer about "closed practices", she does note which cultures each deity comes from. If you read the whole book (and not just the spirit names), it's spelled out very clearly that some spirits are in fact not "Benevolent". I've seen reviews stating that this book paints all spirits out as a free for all, all benevolent, etc. ![]()
