Loading... To Ride A Silver Broomstick: New Generational Witchcraftby Silver RavenWolf
None. Crap. Bought these ages ago from ebay, should have saved my money. (  ) mlfhlibrarian | Oct 21, 2012 |  A lousy introduction to modern neoPagan Witchcraft. The information is not well organized, and while it is ostensibly aimed at the young who are new to it all, it is a mishmash of beginner stuff with advanced stuff randomly inserted. Not long after it was published i began writing an annotated critique, but quit because it became such a long enumeration of its flaws and errors. I most certainly would not give this typical Llewellyn junk to a beginner. (  ) lilinah | Oct 6, 2010 | A nice introduction into the Craft, written with a lot of humor. Only good as a starting point, however, because the information is very brief. (  ) Samantha_kathy | Aug 10, 2010 | This book is a classic and one of the first I recommend for people who are interested in learning about Wicca. 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. (  )1  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. ( )2 evethejust | Apr 20, 2008 | no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (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 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:31:35 -0500) Author "presents a fascinating introduction to the [witch]Craft. This indispensable guide presents tried-and-true Witch wisdom."-cover. |
