Shouting at the Wolf: A Guide to Identifying and Warding Off Evil in Everyday Life

I agree with other reviewers on some of the tedium, could have been tightened and enhanced to bring out the brilliant things I believe the writer was gaining on the threshold. The first chapter - though - was exceptional. If all books of this genre could be so original as this. The message here should be everywhere. I have read many, many environmental books ... and a lot considered to perhaps be of the NewAgey type... but the message in this first chapter... is exactly what drives Al Gore... in An Inconvenient Truth. My opinion...

I find this book fairly informative and thorough, although in terrible need of editing. The beginning and middle sections have at least one spelling error per page, and often a grammatical error, as well. A good editor might correct these, as well as organize the material in a less convoluted manner to improve clarity of presentation. The material presented toward the end is generally more organised and understandable and has fewer (though still many) spelling errors. As far as the material itself, I am very grateful to see these things actually printed in a book and appreciate the author very much for her courage in expressing them. We are all a part of the "all-life" and living this truth is the first and most important step in living in tune with our higher selves and with the Light; and in protecting ourselves from harm.

Anderson Reed went deeper that many of the psychic self defense books out there today. She uses a more earthy approach drawing from native traditions and it delves into dealing with spirits, familiars and psychic phenomena without losing the reader at all. She goes further than affirmations and positive thinking and gets into old magic and natural implements for cleansing and warding away unwanted influences. It was also an engaging read from start to finish with many case histories. Highly recommended!!!

Good book, with great anecdotes, but hardly a complete overview of the subject of psychic self defense. Check out "Practical Psychic Self-Defense" by Robert Bruce, or "Arcane Lore" by Scribe 27 to fill in the blanks. Interesting perspective. I don't understand why this book isn't more well known.
