[.ca] Complete Idiots Guide To Wicca And Witchcraft (ISBN 1592575331)

great:
This is an exllent book. It has all the information a beginner and experienced witch needs, but the only glitch is that it doesnt contain crucial exercises for spiritual development. the bottom line is that this book is amazing and it is a must for a every Wiccan.

Great beginner's book:
This book is best for beginner's, especially ones that havent read so many books. I recommend this book coz it is very very easy to understand. This book was the best for me. Till now, i couldnt find a book that has the same style. It was the one that set me on the track.

Don't judge a book...:
People might be put off by the title. "I'm no idiot!" one might say. But seriously, this book is very comprehensive in its information. My favorite part was the study on the Rede. It helped me understand the meaning behind some of the more flowery statements. If you want to learn the basics, with just a little more, buy this book.

Detailed yet vague:
This book has an astounding amount of detail on spellcraft. It gives you everything you need to know to start writing and casting spells. But the book isn't supposed to be just about spells. It's supposed to be about wicca. The first few chapters are about wicca. There is an overview of the religion, and the intents. In the later chapters all it really says it that you should become an activist for wiccan causes and not to accept money for performing magick. While it is written as a reference type book, there isn't anything you'll need to look up that you won't find in a few dozen other books. And the stuff that you WILL need to look up (like the two chapters on astrology and timing you spells) you will definitely need a more detailed referance to make much use of it. The book is ideal for only the most unseasoned beginner, and there are other books that would be more helpful. I consider it worth reading if you are bored and can borrow it from a friend or the library. At the very least it isn't completely wrong in it's descriptions of wicca, and it gives you enough information to know what kinds of more detailed books you should buy (poppet magic or a book on herbs?). But it's too vague to justify the number of pages in the book.

A good start for a new beginning:
Being a teacher of Wicca & Witchcraft myself, I was very impressed with this book. All of the information contained in its pages is complete and very helpful for one who is just starting out on the Wiccan path. A lot of what is being taught in this book may seem a bit overwhelming at first, however by taking your time and taking things one step at a time, you should have no problems following this book. I was a little concerned about the format of the information, and in what order it was given, but nonetheless, it is sound in principle and practice.
