Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner (Includes Author's Book of Shadows) |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: Excellent introduction to the world of Wicca
Comments: If you are totally new to Wicca, or even more general nature based Paganism, this is a really great place to start expanding your knowledge. I knew a great amount about Paganism and especially Druidism before I read this book, however once I became interested in Wicca and read this book, it gave me a great idea of what Wicca was all about. It's really a beginners book and therefore doesn't go into much detail. however it certainly gives you a great all-around idea of the philosophy and spiritual aspect of Wicca, as well as rituals, recipes, seasonal festivals, tools and symbols, the dualism of a God and Goddess and many more basic Wicca concepts. As the title says, it's more targeted to solitary practitioners. So if you can not find a coven, or simply prefer to have your own individualized religion, this is a great source in how to do so. This is more the path of an eclectic Wiccan, however even if you merely have interest in knowing more about Wicca as a religion, rather than making it your own, it's a great stepping stone to it's introduction. Maybe not the best source for researching the history of Wicca, because it is New Age and highly personalized. I would strongly endorse this book if you want a glimpse into the Wiccan world. |

Summary: great for Pagan Beginners
Comments: This is a great book for those who are beginning to introduce themselves to the world of formal paganism. I am not Wiccan so I can not say how it measures up to the religion however there is a lot of great information for those who do not know what path they will take however at least want to try something. It's not condescending in tone rather it's warm and inviting, with undertones of understanding. It also is not 'baby talk' so the reader can feel mature enough to take the information seriously and perhaps not so strange performing some of the rituals inside. I like it. |

Summary: A Classic
Comments: Cunningham was indeed a great teacher, with a talent for putting things in plain, easy to understand English, and speaking TO the reader, rather than talking down to them. This book is a must have for any beginner. |

Summary: Excellent book for beginners........
Comments: I did some research online before purchasing Scott Cunningham's book and found that it came highly endorseed. As someone who is just learning about Wicca I have found this book to be informative, reassuring, and straightforward. I would endorse it to anyone who wants to follow the Wiccan path, or is researching the Old Ways, especially if, like me, you live somewhere where it is just about impossible to find anyone to teach you. |
