This is the book that changed my life! It was the very first book I'd ever read on the subjects of Wicca and witchcraft. Buckland has a way of explaining things to laymans that makes everything make sense. He comes about very slow and gentle. He maps thing out for you and explains concepts several different ways. The rituals are perfectly written and easy for a beginner to follow. The reference material in the back is a great addition. I just love this book! If you are considering looking into Wicca to either practice or just study, I HIGHLY recommend this book! 💜 (

This is a very comprehensive guide to the type fo witchcraft that Raymond Buckland goes by. This isn't the type of book that I read all the way though, this is one where I try to flip to whe information I need at the moment. I think it gives a lot of importatnt information, however some parts of it aren't put in the correct places it seems. I think this book would do better with a more comprehensive Table of Contents and an Index in back. (
