Because many witches also identify as Wiccan, most of these essays were a little too Wiccan for me. I want to know more about general witchcraft, not the Wiccan Rede. Luckily, the essays that weren't specific to Wiccan practices were really interesting and opened my mind to a lot of possibilities of using magic and being a witch. So: here's to this book for holding a variety of perspectives and giving me avenues of exploration!

Good info but very simplistic. At one point it tells me what kind of sources I can use to look up info.
Which is something I know and is very obvious. Is that not why I am reading this book? She seemed passionate about her work. I learned about charms, and the history section is good.

I (Calantirniel) wrote "Pagans and Prosperity Issues" and "Chakra Balancing and Tarot" for this book.
