"We often talk about magic in the context of our workings. While we can often name magics from foreign lands, like Celtic, Nordic, Roman, etc., it is easy to forget that all magic, at some point, is local. In Crossroads of Conjure, Katrina Rasbold expertly describes some folks magics that are much closer to our North American home. The thoroughness of this book opens new vistas for the reader—I know it did for me."—Rev. Jean . . .
