![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. This is a good book for those interested in witchcraft and beginners to get an over view of wicca. you will come away with an understanding of wicca and should be able to decide if you want to learn more about it or start practicing ( ![]() A must have reference for any witch's library. This book has shown me believes of this this modern/ ancient religion. It is fascinating how they see the world, It is almost philosophical. Next up will be reading something on Judaism, or probably Celtic. A great 101 book. The textbook presentation works well, along with the questions at the end of every chapter. Buckland gives you a little bit of everything, and some suggestions on how to continue your studies if you like a particular field. The only criticism I have would be that he perpetuates what I call the "Wicca Myth." He does it while he tells you that the sources supporting it have been called into question. Odd. A rather famous book and it has become a classic among books over Wicca and witchcraft since it was first published. It covers a lot of material to say the least. Perhaps the only big true downside to this is its very age. The historical viewpoints on the origins of Wicca and the general viewpoint over all has changed a fair amount as it has spread and grown. Because of the change this book is perhaps not the best book for a beginner to read right off the bat. Regardless though its still a fairly good book which covers a wide verity of topics in a kind of workbook style. no reviews | add a review
