Wiccan Beliefs & Practices: With Rituals for Solitaries & Covens

Before I review, I feel I have to certify a few things: I'm not a Wiccan, nor am I considering it. I thought this might be an interesting read during the Halloween season (love Halloween, love spooky Halloween material). Instead, this book is intended for the newbie Wiccan contemplating practice as a Wiccan. If that were me, it would have been great. It's content is clear, easy to follow, and supportive for a student of the religion.The content is heavy on the underlying belief system and how to incorporate practice into a modern practictioner's life. The author includes descriptions of rituals, the significance of the seasons, the significance of the moon's cycle, some of symbolism, and tools used in typical rituals. The author presents the subject matter as introductory, not comprehensive; although he suggests additional reading material for the serious student.It was a well-organized and also offered an "inside" view of the religion as told by a practitioner.

I truly enjoy reading a variety of books that shows me different and insightful views along my chosen path.This book was very informative, showing me yet another vision of the faith.With each writing and the author's take on things, gives me more and more information that allows me to make my ideas and decisions on how I wish to walk.I do not recommend taking each book at its face value, accepting everything as written in stone. Instead, I allow all information in, and based on the varied readings, use them all as a whole, deciding what I feel is right for me.I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to broaden their horizons and looking to fill your need for more and more feeding of the soul.

This book is full of useful informational tools, to help you get a better idea of Wiccan beliefs and practices. This book rivals the information in Scott Cunningham's "Living Wicca" books.However, I got this book used, and there was noticeable damage to the book that made me feel like I should have paid the extra money to get it new.

For anyone learning the world of Wicca this is the most comprehensive book I've read so far, for both coven and solitary practice. Gary Cantrell writes in a very simple and concise form that is easy to understand and gives you the best overview of the many aspects relating to Wicca. Well worth adding to your library.

Book was in excellent condition although I was disappointed in the content.

Got this as a gift. She didn't say she didn't like it, but she was more impressed with Scott Cunningham's books on the subject.

VERY NICE, AND IT GOT HERE QUICKLY!

A very easy tool for the solitary Wiccan to follow! I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn The Craft!

good
