No-fluff Witchcraft!

As books concerning Traditional Wicca go, I've seen none better. This book is all "meat and potatos," having none of the fluff so common in more recent Wicca "how to...." books. It belongs on the shelf of anyone with a serious interest in Wicca or Witchcraft. Not another book of spells, this is a book focusing on practices and beliefs from an Alexandrian and Gardnerian perspecive.

The More Traditional Side of Wicca Revealed

What a wonderful source of information! Janet and Stewart Farrar detail rituals, beliefs, including views on reincarnation, tools and religious myths of the two major traditions of modern Wicca, specifically Alexandrian and Gardnerian. The rituals and beliefs of these traditions have been guarded throughout the years, consequently, it's wonderful having all this great material all in one cover. They even detail the history of the Gardnerian Book of Shadows and point out the changes it underwent throughout the years. The initiation rituals are all included here - 1st degree through 3rd. There is even a self-dedication ritual for those who have not been able to find a teacher, do not belong to a coven, and want to began practicing wicca. This book has undoubtedly taken its stand among the greats of this genre. This couple has done much to increase the understanding of the science and religion of witchcraft. This book belongs in your personal library.
