Although Mr. Cunningham does a good job in identifying rituals and things to do for them, I found this a little too wordy for me. Although I have been interested in Wicca for many years there are a great many things one most do that, quite frankly, I don't have time or the resources to perform them.

Scott Cunningham remains a well respected author by most wiccans. His books are easy to understand, focus on the spiritual aspect of Wicca as well as the magickal, and are well grounded in Wicca. I have owned this before but gave it away for someone else to benefit from. When I saw it on ebay, I couldn't resist. This is a great book for young and old, novice and experienced Witches. Everyone can use a little study of the foundations every now and again. I wish that anyone interested in Wicca would find this book, whether wanting to practice or just to learn the truth about this path. May you walk in love and light. Blessed Be.
I was very excited when i saw my package in the mail. It only took five days for me to receive my order. Im very satisfied. I ordered this book on halloween (10/31) 2009, which i think makes it very special. Im a beginner in wicca, so i need to start with the basics. So i decided to order this book. I dont know any Wiccans who can help me with the path of the religion i chose. So this book is good for me, since im a solitary practitioner. I've heard great things about Scott Cunningham. I read two chapters of the book the first day i received it and realized how great of an author he is. I live in a rural area in houston,texas so finding other wiccans will be dificult. I know im going to enjoy reading this book. R.I.P Scott Cunningham.
I bought this book looking for a way to open myself fully to Wicca in a solitary setting. I can say that it more than met my expectations. It opened my mind to new ways of seeing things that I hadn't considered before. The author explained his beliefs in the only way I could have accepted, with open-mindedness and with clear, vibrant wording. My only issue with the philosophy was a contradiction between the deities as beings of both light and dark, nature as good and evil, then a claim that using the energies of magic for ill intent or dark purposes somehow shamed or defiled them. I am not an individual who wishes to harm others, but from what I've seen of nature and its forces, is it really possible for anyone to gain anything without some loss on the part of someone or something else? That said, the flexibility and reasonable, logical nature of the author's message was what truly helped me to see what I needed to do. Thank you, Scott!Read full review
