I realllyyy love this book
The book has great information in it. Definitely has more content than the original but i highly suggest getting both books. This one has more illustrations and shows you in photo form rather than diagram how to do and make things.

The Number One Witchcraft Book For Beginners
Raymond Buckland’s Complete Book of Witchcraft 2nd Edition: Review for eBay I purchased the first edition of this book (I'm reviewing the second edition here) about 20 years ago, and back then this was the number one book for beginning Witches. This 2nd edition book is even better then the 1st as it has nearly twice the information! It is based on the Seax Wicca Tradition (founded by Raymond Buckland) but it's a great, non-denominational, non-sectarian book on Witchcraft. Even if you study with a coven, this book is sure to enhance some aspect of your study. As a matter of fact, I would recommend this book to every style of Witch, even elders. The author is very knowledgeable, having written at least 20 other books on the Craft and various divination. This book is truly the "complete book" because it covers everything from why you are interested in Witchcraft, how to become an initiate into the religion, and lays the groundwork for a great, full life of learning. He gives examples of every beginning aspect such as making your sacred space (drawing the circle), and includes the basics of seemingly all types of divination and magick. He teaches about the circle of life, of the holidays, and how to celebrate them. He includes recipes for food and beverage for the celebrations. He teaches about oils, herbs, runes, meditation, tantra, incense, tarot, altar tools, clothing, candles, colors, astrology, and I could go on and on! The book's appendix includes definitions of Wiccan Denominations, music for rituals and chants, and an expansive reading list. There are many reference charts, tables, figures, and an easy to use index. I almost forgot, at the end of each chapter, there is a Q & A study guide, and room for you to make your own notes. This book is a staple for any type of Witch. No matter how or what your worship, you will find something useful in the 345+ pages of Buckland's incredibly best book by far!Read full review

Good Primer and Reference
"Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft" is a good primer for the beginner, and a good reference for the more advanced practitioner. The style is in a clear, concise manner, the set-up is ideal for learning individually or in group settings. Chapters are set up as Lessons with quizzes afterward. If applied, the student can get a good grasp of the basic teachings of the more popular modern Witchcraft traditions. Don't expect this, or any other book to answer all your questions or to teach you the "mysteries" of the Craft. Only reading widely, application, practice and discipline can do that over years. It is a good place to start, but it IS only one book. One book is not be begin-all and end-all. As Buckland says, take the information that works for you and start from there, and always search. He has many other books that are excellent as well, and he encourages reading other authors. He doesn't have all the answers, but he can get you to thinking and encourage you on your quest for knowledge, understanding and wisdom. No author can do it for you. Only you can do that.Read full review

Bucky's Big Blue Book
'Bucky's Big Blue Book' is an excellent beginning book. I give it this rating as compared to all of the books that are out there at present. Could it be better? Certainly. I do recommend that any aspiring Witch begin with this book. With this book you will establish a solid basic foundation in the Craft. However, although the books states that you will be, you will in no way be a 3rd Degree Witch. If you 'memorize' this book though (meaning that you really study it cover-to-cover, do all of the exercises, put the information into practice and live by those changes, not just read the book), you will know more than many many people who call themselves 3rd Degree High Priest/ess. With this foundation you would also make yourself a very good candidate for apprenticeship to a teaching High Priestess or High Priest. Be aware, though, that Mr. Buckland is not correct on all points and that his book is also colored by his own personal likes and dislikes (which is certainly natural). Keep in mind as well that although there are many books on the Craft, contrary to popular belief not all the information is out there AND there are 'blinds' in these books, both accidental and deliberate (and with good reasons for the latter). In addition, there is much more to the Craft than the mechanics (all the fun oils, incense, athames, cloaks and circles). The Craft demands growth and spiritual evolution, and no book, even one as good as Buckland's, can do that for you. The book would be improved if Mr. Buckland did not assert that this one book would make you a 3rd Degree, but instead would encourage you to study much further, preferably with a teaching High Priest/ess. If you are serious about this path, for the hidden aspects you will need guidance by a teaching High Priestess or High Priest. This guidance can also shorten the time it will take you to evolve as a Witch, helping you avoid the many sidetracks and pitfalls that people aspiring to become Witches always run into. Mr. Buckland states in his book that Witcraft is first a religion. I agree in part with that, but it is far more than that. Religion is man-made; spirituality comes from Spirit. What I would leave you with, of most importance, is that The Craft of the Wise is first a very spiritual path that honors The First Cause, The First Swirlings (the Divine Source). This honoring includes yourself! As a spark of Divine Light, (yes, that's YOU) you must also love and honor yourself. The honoring of the Divine Source begins with that which IT made - - YOU! Most definitely, this does not mean letting your ego run wild, but rather learning to be in charge of it. It also means watching your 'head talk' for all of the negative things you may mentally be saying about yourself, taking care of your health, and giving up any ways in which you are abusing your body. As per the 13 Principles, 'Calling oneself Witch does not make one Witch.' I cannot emphasis enough that there is a tremendous amount of work behind the cloak of a genuine Witch High Priestess or High Priest. Hecate, Crone High PriestessRead full review
