About this audiobook
A masterful gem of insight and wisdom, Traditional Wicca: A Seeker's Guide reveals the time-honored practices of initiatory Wicca, thought all but lost by many, but hidden like so many occult secrets in plain sight. Drawing a clear and respectful distinction between eclectic Wicca and its older more traditional sibling, Thorn Mooney takes us on a personal journey exploring the powers and the pitfalls of the initiatory inner court, revealing the persistence of a thriving and dynamic Craft.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very nuanced, which is an awesome thing to get out of a book (or whatever piece of media) at these times.
But I do have to warn you, if you don't know literally anything about Wica, this is not the ideal book for you.
This book takes for granted that you've done an initial research about Wica and does not explain basic concepts.1 person found this helpful
