One of the things I absolutely loved about this book is the writing style. It is not stiff and impersonal like many other books I have read. Miss Blake writes in a very friendly and welcoming manner, often using humor, which makes it seem more like a conversation than a lecture. You feel as though she is talking directly to you.
I believe that this is a wonderful book that anyone who feels the need to learn more about Pagans can enjoy. Displaying such warmth and wisdom, Deborah Blake...more

where to begin with this review? at the beginning! i had lost hope in all that i knew. i doubted myself and the things i believed in. my feet were once again trying to veer off the path i have been walking since i was a teen. distraught and a bit desperate, i happened upon this book in the kindle store. i read a few bits of it in the take a peek section. i instantly bought it and devoured it in one day. i needed guidance as i am solitary. reading this book was like sitting in Ms. Blake's living ...more

Multiple reviewers and the author herself have said that this book isn't intended for beginning Witches. I think it would be suitable for them anyway. This simply isn't a book on the techniques of Wicca. If the books that tell you what esbats and sabbata are, what the significance of the four elements is, or how to cast a circle are Wicca 101 books, I'd say this is a Wicca 102 book. The Goddess is in the Details strikes me as a book that gives a context for all those techniques you're learning f...more
I loved reading this.This book is directed more toward Wiccans and pagans but it was good for a non one like me! I'm so happy I found this book because it's cute and witty and packed full of information,and not like most Wicca books that are dry and so painfully biased and all about the burning times.I'd reccomend this to anyone.And I can't wait to read more of her books!
This is a delightful book! It is not a Wicca 101 book if that's what you are looking for. Blake delves into the spiritual aspects of Wicca/Goddess worship and teaches the reader how to apply those principles to their daily life. I especially like the chapter on how to get through difficult times. A must read!
This book takes the reader on a wonderful journey through many aspects of witchcraft in everyday life. Blake uses simple, yet descriptive language that allows the reader to easily understand the concepts taught in each chapter. This book is clearly well thought out and contains many tidbits of wisdom.
This book is not for beginners. Having said that, I found it to be a great introduction to incorporating wicca into everyday life. I struggle with this aspect since I work in an office and have a pretty hectic life at home. With this book however, I've found ways to sneak a little spirituality into everything I do. It's even helped demystify some of the more obscure aspects of being a witch. Each time I read a chapter out of this book, I feel like I'm sitting down with Ms. Blake and having a nic...more
I'd mark this higher, but the fatphobia bit my ass. So there you go.
simply beautiful.
