How this book can be rated any lower than five stars is quite beyond me- this is the essential guide for anyone who is interested in witchcraft as opposed to the namby-pamby nonsense so often touted as "Wicca" by modern authors. Neither particularly pleasant nor apologetic, this is witchcraft, warts an' all- if you're interested in its practice or indeed just the theory behind it then for heaven's sake find yourself a copy!
