Customer Reviews

What an eye opener!

This book gave me the diverse perspectives that I was lacking as a solitary practioner. Quite a difference between the various contributors on a wide range of topics that, all in one way or another, touch on "living between the worlds". This is one of the titles that I think should be on any witch's bookshelf.

Witchcraft without Sprinkles

An unusually thoughtful consideration of how the Craft does (or does not) integrate with modern American secular life, and the ethical/personal challenges facing its practicioners. As usual, given the format, there is some variance in quality between the articles, but overall, they're quite good.Finally, I'm sorry this series has been discontinued by Llewellyn, though I suppose it was inevitable. Most people turn to the Craft for escape or power, rather than as a means of expressing/deepening their own connectivity to the universe. The books that sell are those that pretend to offer vast secrets (as if every secret isn't staring in the face, winking, every day of your life), control over others, membership is a special club, etc, and the materials they provide have been recycled for nearly half a century. There are some notable exceptions out there, like Cunningham--and Witchcraft Today. I strongly urge curious seekers to try the latter.

A "must-read" for Wiccans in or out of the closet!

Living between the Worlds is an excellent book for Wiccans who must everday balance their mundane and magickal lives. This book is very enlightening for those of us who choose to stay "in the closet" and for those who are "out". It reconciles both types and gives understanding and real life reasoning for both choices. It even gives another meaning to the Rede - "don't do magickally what you would not do mundanely". Definitely something to ponder when deciding "to harm none".
