- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A 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.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book is one of the 'beginner' books often found in Pagan collections. It's not a bad book- there's plenty of good info in it, but more recent books have much more refined information in it. Great for people coming out of strict religions- lots of rules. For those of us who aren't terribly fond of 'thou shalts', the book is more limited in its scope, but it's still a decent snapshot of How Things Were (and aren't any more) in Wicca.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I did not enjoy this book. That is to say that perhaps it is because I am not practicing under any specific tradition, I found the writing very limiting (i.e. "you MUST do this or you MUST do that").I am aware that traditions do require certain things to make them thus - but this is definitely not the way I practice.

Suggestion?
Read all his books and listen to all his audiobooks.
He is in a word “Amazing”1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A 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.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not a bad book for an information source but not something I would follow word for word. Basically purchased as a reference tool when needed for some aspects and a good introductory book for those who are curious about the Garderian path. Not suited for those who are solitary practitioners, more directed at coven work but all the same informative.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A terrific overview with specifics largely in the Gardenerian in tradition. I know this now because I read this excellent book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A workbook type book based on Wiccan beliefs mainly. Very good for a solitaire witch. (Xyaida)
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A good basic workbook to jump your own search off on.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Well, you get the raw basics, but it's not exactly my cup of tea.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5There was a lot of useful information. Great reference for my craft.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A must have reference for any witch's library.
