1. Karen - 1 star
As someone who was excited to learn more about Scandinavian culture and traditions, I was highly disappointed with the "Nordic pagan holiday planner 2023". The book lacked depth and seemed more like a generic calendar with a few basic descriptions of the holidays. I was hoping for detailed explanations of rituals, customs, and history, but this book failed to deliver. It felt like a missed opportunity to delve into the rich mythology and traditions of the Norse pagans, and instead left me feeling unsatisfied and underwhelmed.
