5 stars (Great for a Novice Like me!) - Mr. Cunningham explains Wicca simply and right to the point. He dispells all the myths and gives meaning to the true Wiccan art. I am going to purchase more of his many books on this subject, since I am a novice and have much to learn. If you are also new to exploring Wicca this is the book for you! Ladybug 4 stars (Practical Guide for the Solitary Pagan) - This book is not Wicca as we know it in the UK, it represents a natural and gentle path with little ceremony and much personal magick. Its beautiful. If you are a newbie and looking for something to help you on your path then this book will help you a great deal. But remember that no one book can tell you everything there is to know about a magickal and spiritual path, so read it alongside other books on magick and wicca. Books by Vivianne Crowley, Ronald Hutton and David Rankine would be a good start. The practical exercises and tips throughout is very valuable, so don't just read them, try them out! This is not a book on theory, its a book on practices so remember that you need to try them out to understand them. Blessings on your path and enjoy! A must read. 5 stars (Wicca: A Guide to the Solitary Practitioner) - It was very informative and easy to read ...

5 stars (Love It) - This book tell all about the true witchcraft behind Charmed. Most of which is true. I as kinda dissapointed because I though the book would be a replica of the "real" Book of Shadows. But this is good enough for me. 4 stars ( Intresting Book) - Anyone who is a "Charmed" fan or into Wicca should own this great book. I enjoyed it. 3 stars (book of shadows) - Ilove charmed thought this book would be more about the series. Was disapointed that the book picked apart the series as to say what is real and not. This is a show for our entertainment not a true story. most people that are true wiccans realize that,and do not watch to discover new spells etc...I love the characters of charmed which is why I tune in every week.. ...

3 stars (Here's my problem with it so far...) - Here's my problem with the book: It presents an unfavorable view of certain types of magick and religions. True, I have not finished the book yet, but all you hav to do is read the negative definitions for the words "withcraft: An EVIL power inhert in certain individuals that permits them...to do HARM or cause others MISFORTUNE;" "New Age: a loosley used term describing a combination of spirituality and superstition, a FAD and FARCE, that SUPPOSEDLY helps believes gain knowledge of the unknown;" and two of the four definitions involving the word magick end with the words "intended victim." Granted, the book was originally written in 1985 when withcraft, magick and Wicca weren't as accepted, but it was reprinted in 2001, so you'd think some of the definitions could have been changed. It just doesn't seem like an objective view of the supernatural and magick, but rather a negatively jaded one. It's getting 3 stars becasue I haven't finished it, and there's always a chance it could redeem itself at the end. ~Koppur 4 stars (good summary of religion) - This book is used by Butte college as well as Chico State. The book consists of independent articles, or exerpts, that illustrate the topics of each chapter. Some of the articles are difficult to read, but in general it does provide useful information. 4 stars (Magic, Witchcraft, & Religion) - I currently use this book as the text for a class I teach at California State University, Chico (Anthropology 40: Magic, Witchcraft, & Religion). I was fortunate enough to have taken this and other courses from the authors Arthur C. Lehmann and James E. Myers. This book serves as a good reader for comparative religions and focuses on non-western societies. Articles on western belief systems are used for comparison and contrasting with the non-western examples. Although targeted for the freshman level, the text assumes the reader have some understanding of anthropology. ...
