Yvonne Aburrow's All Acts of Love and Pleasure: Inclusive Wicca is a greatly needed book for any group. Written with covens and groups in mind, the book addresses many changes regarding diversity within the modern Craft. Aburrow asserts that Wicca should be inclusive regardless of gender, sexuality, and mobility.
They write that "Different people have different experiences, expectations, and perspectives, and including and working with different ideas and experiences can only enrich our Craft, not detract from it." Instead of ignoring or erasing the differences of others, the book aims to explore methods of working with these differences. As such they provide ideas, practices, meditations, and queer myths to create a more inclusive group dynamic or to adapt workings when needed, and tackle the history and origin of many Wiccan concepts and practices to shed light on the importance of inclusion vs. dogma and to challenge preconceived notions within Wicca. It's not the 1950s anymore. Diversity must be embraced, not excluded.
