Customer Reviews

This is, to borrow a phrase, A "5 wand book!"

This book is a must have. I would not have
known about it had not a friend in the U.K.
sent it to me as a gift.

Gift? This little book is a Gem of a gift.

Yes, some parts I had
to reread, because of *MY* lack of knowledge of
Carl Jung. That is not the Author's fault,
and it doesn't make it a bad book. What it does
is stimulates the old gray matter. I am going on
64, and Yes, you *can* teach an old witch new things!

This book should be on every witch's bookshelf.
As one reviewer of this book stated, this book
should be read by those of other belief systems, too.

If you want to know about Initiation
This is the book to read if you want to know about Wiccan initiation and what it entails. Ms Crowley writes in a interesting and poetic style and this book is one of the must read's of the thousands of Wiccan books available today.

She is one of the pioneers of Wiccan community in the UK and has done much to further the understanding held by the outside world.

It would help to have some knowledge of psychology when you read this book, otherwise it may become a struggle. So be forewarned, but it is still a classic and must read on the subject. So many people I meet first learned about Wicca through this book and our cousins in the US would do well to read this for an insight on how Wicca is seen in the UK.

A beautiful book
This is one of the finest books I have ever read about Wicca. One I would definitely recommend for both experienced and newcomers. I am just now preparing a conference about Wicca and this book is one of my elected information sources, since it puts everything so clearly and in such a readable way.

Anyway, this book should be especially read by all those who have just arrived to the marvelous world of Wicca because it provides the knowledge of the foundations of all things concerned, albeit some very personal approaches that should not be considered as given facts (like the opening of the shakras, a technique that many would consider alien to traditional Wicca procedures).

I can even dare to say non-pagans and/or non-wiccans should also read this book, much like anyone would read about Islamism, Buddhism, Hinduism or any other religious practice, since it sheds a great amount of light on a still very obscure, unknown and thus very uncomprehended religion.

Definitely a must-buy, it is my humble opinion.
