3.5 stars. This is a cute little book with a charming aesthetic, including plenty of drawings and a few photos. Despite the title, the basic information can of course be used by any practitioner, Wiccan or not. All the usuals are here: tools, how to set up an altar, some correspondences, Wheel of the Year, spells, rituals, talismans, etc. Many far more comprehensive guidebooks on the Craft exist elsewhere, however. Contains a few typos, grammatical errors and omissions. Note: here in Canada, this book has a different cover and is entitled "Wicca: How to harness powerful practices from the craft", but it appears to be the same book.

I have the Canadian edition titled "Wicca: How to harness powerful practices from the craft." It's a lovely introduction and provides various spells. Content-wise, it was concise and brief. The layout is beautiful with Shutterstock images and some illustrations. As for the spells, I can't say anything about them since there are a ton of correspondences I'd have to purchase, so it'll be a while before I can try them out. I think it's a good book to have, nonetheless.

Standard modern introduction to Wicca book. Nothing new was really added, but overall wasn’t too bad. Definitely want to fact check and do further research (Ostara/Mabon is not typically associated with the battle between the Oak and Holly Kings for example). Mostly read like a brief introduction with little depth.
