The Perfect First Wicca Book for Teens!

Francesca has done it again! A warm, direct, and fundamentally sound magical book, this time specifically for a teen audience. Francesca's approach to magic is hands on, which is the ideal way to really learn the craft. If you are a teen looking for a fabulous and wise introduction to Wicca with plenty of substance, great spells, and get-your-hands-dirty magic, this is the book for you. If you're a parent looking for a the best possible introductory Wicca book for your teenager, look no further. Francesca never talks down to her readers, so that makes this book even more appealing to both teens and adults. I appreciated it as much as my son did!

*pout, pout* Where's all the other rating stars!?

I am a teen who loves Francesca's new book. This book is so utterly fabulous and remarkable in every way. I remember when I brought my copy of the book to school and read a page of it I wanted to find Francesca's number and tell her what a great passage that was ((it was called "The Myths That We Are: A Cosmic Pep Talk")). The spells in this book also work, I found this out when I accidentally ((perfectly accidentally, thank you)) did a love spell and within less than a week I had three guys attracted to me! That shocked me quite a bit and I didn't even realize I did the spell... wow. And if you feel kind of nervous about magick Francesca helps to teach you how to be safe and do magick at the same time. When my mom got 'Be a Teen Goddess' I was happy, I got to... err... commandeer her copy for a little bit. Though every time she looked for it, it was in front of My eyes. Let's just say that I absolutely loved it! This book is both funny and serious. It has helped, and is still helping, me with my problems If I was stuck on a desert island and only could bring five things ((including food and water)) this book would be one of them because I could go read it to cheer me up and to comfort me. Just to let you know this book is so magical that the first publishing date is in April 2005 ((actually April 30th, but who's counting?)) and it is only March 2005! I also realize that this book can not only help us girl teenagers, it can help boys as well as adults. Don't think that because it says 'Teen' or 'Goddess' that you cannot read it if you are a boy or an adult. I know it can help you as it helped me. I hope you enjoy this book as I have. I completely trust it to be safe, enjoyable and fun. Wait a second... don't stay here reading my long review! Read the book ((trust me it is soooooo much better)).

BUY THIS BOOK For the teens you love

I love Francesca De Grandis's work, and this book is her best yet. I love how her magic is so very real, practical, and wickedly fun. In this book she really seems to get "it" (whatever that may be!) about what's going on for teens. My teenager keeps taking my copy of this book (her's is on the way) and using it to help her through the day. As a parent I feel 100% comfortable with her doing any of the spells or rituals in this book. This is IMPORTANT!!!! As a witch and a mom I won't let her work alone with most of the other books aimed at teens. (Note: when I first read Silver Ravenwolf's Teen Witch I thought it was a lot of fun....then I began to realize how dangerously manipulative and unsafe much of her book is.) I actually feel a lot better about some of the issues that my daughter is facing knowing that she's using Be A Teen Goddess as one of the resources for making decisions. As someone who has worked with the material in Francesca De Grandis's other books, I am looking forward to seeing how this book will effect my daughter's life. (Okay, truth to be told: I am really EXCITED to see what will happen wtih my daughter as she works with this book. And I am also really excited to work with more of this book myself.) Finally, I was in a lot of trouble as a teenager. It is my deep conviction that if this book had been available to me when I was 14 or 15, that my life would have been very different. Being a teenager is tough; being a magically gifted teen can be a nightmare without support and guidance. And until now, forget it if that magically gifted teen was fey touched. At last we have a resource, a delightfully fun resource, for those teens. And for all those other teen Gods and Goddesses waiting to bloom.

Excellent Book for ALL TEENS!!

Wonderfully written and fun to read!! Francesca helps teens (and adults TOO) relate with the God & Goddess on a personal level, really showing the reader how to connect with them in everyday life situations. Excellence and elegance, as usual, from one of the BEST!! THANKS Francesca!!

Fun and Fabulous Faery Magic!

I loved this book! It's very fun and very faery, with lots of rituals, spells and talk about all the facets of a young wiccan's life. It speaks to both young men and women (okay, those of us who still like to think we are, too!) Intelligently written by a well-known, wild-but-responsible witch. The author doesn't talk down to you, and assumes *gasp* that you are a powerful witch no matter what your age. A really great read.
