She approaches the subject in a conversational tone, but with some of the best information available for those interested in learning about the religion. While occasionally, her writing tone comes across as condescending, for the most part it is a great book with invaluable information. (  )jayble | Jul 8, 2008 |   I've bought two of this author's books and regret the money spent on both. I also resent the space they take up on my shelf. In both books she comes off like the typical flaky, contradictory and bizarre kind of person that the media always seems to be able to find whenever they need to do a bit on Wiccans. You know, that person that we see on the news and think "oh gods above, of all the people they could have chosen to speak to, why him/her?" Scott Cunningham's books drew me to Wicca many years ago. Sadly, most other authors, including this one, have driven me away. (  )evethejust | Apr 20, 2008 | Was given to me as a gift and turned out to be a perfect intro book for a beginner. I still refrence it. nehalemn | Aug 11, 2007 | This is a good book for anyone starting out in Wicca. She's very thorough in covering the basics, and IIRC, suggests some good exercises to get started with planning out a solitary practice. (  )herebedragons | Feb 5, 2007 | This is perhaps an overly simple introduction to the whole wicca thing. Depending on the cover of the edition you bought, it might seem that new generation witches do still ride broomstocks, which is pretty funny. Presumably this is intentional on her part to suck people in to picking it up and having a look. (  )bluetyson | Jan 7, 2007 | 0.059 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 087542791X, Paperback)Silver RavenWolf is one of the most widely recognized names in circles of witchcraft, and with good reason; she has written some of the best guides to contemporary Witchcraft available. To Ride a Silver Broomstick is a handbook aimed at the beginner, and doesn't get bogged down in history, dogma, or gender roles. It is a workbook for the individual, whether one is a solitary practitioner or part of a coven, that covers the basics of the craft--from useful vocabulary to setting up an altar--and briefly delves into more advanced concepts such as astral projection and telepathy. To Ride a Silver Broomstick may not be the most comprehensive single volume on the subject of witchcraft, but RavenWolf focuses on the aspects most important to a beginner, and keeps her introduction to the craft approachable and easy to follow. --Brian Patterson(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:53 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
