Product Description
Product Description
Cunningham's classic introduction to Wicca is about how to live life magically, spiritually, and wholly attuned with nature. It is a book of sense and common sense, not only about magick, but about religion and one of the most critical issues of today: how to achieve the much needed and wholesome relationship with our Earth. Cunningham presents Wicca as it is today: a gentle, Earth-oriented religion dedicated to the Goddess and God. "Wicca "also includes Scott Cunningham's own Book of Shadows and updated appendices of periodicals and occult suppliers.

I have been interested in and practicing Wicca for over twenty years. The first book I read about Wicca was Sybil Leek's book The Complete Art of Witchcraft. After reading The Charge I knew that this was for me and I wanted to learn more. Several years later I obtained the Witches Bible by Janet and Stewart Farrar but I couldn't find anyone interested in starting a Coven in my area and although they pointed me to Doreen Valiente's Witchcraft for Tommorrow (which is also a book for solitaries), the Sabbats were lacking. I also read Spiral Dance at this time and again it is very well written but it was geared towards group work.I had been reading Scott Cunningham's other books and they were all very helpful but when I found this one I was forever grateful. He clearly showed how one could write their own ceremonies to perform and he gives many good exercises. Unlike To Ride a Silver Broomstick he doesn't ignore the Goddess or the Holy Days for that matter. Instead of just explaining them in one paragraph (the Sabbats) he gives actual ceremonies that can be performed and he says that you can also write your own with excellent pointers to other books for study. He will be truly missed by many in the Wiccan/Pagan community.

I was given this book, ironically enough, for Christmas when I was fifteen. After reading it, I found that I had learned enough abot Wicca to choose my path. I think this book is aimed at the person who is considering Wicca, but either is not ready for a coven in their mind or does not want to join one. It is also for the practitioner who is disappointed with their coven or thier present solitary workings. Those who know a bit about Wicca may find the first few chapters redundant, but will find that even they learn some specifics. I learned more about Wicca, but wouldn't call it a book for those who aren't considering the Craft to read for reference- the author wrote a book just for that purpose. I especially enjoyed the rituals he included. Cunningham makes it clear to the reader that they are not required to follow the rituals point-by-point to have effects, which is EXACTLY what I was looking for in my religion. I still use it monthly and recommend highly to the said people.

This book is an excellent source book for the solitary Wiccan, particularly as Scott Cunningham is far from dictatorial. Having been rather put off, in the past, by books that made very specific demands, this is a breath of fresh air. Solitary Wiccans individualistic by nature and generally prefer to develop their own rituals and magickal practices.
This book is ideal for the beginners as it provides a simple and very workable Book of Shadows at the end. The other two section are based on theory and practice respectively.
The Practice section includes some very valuable exercises and magickal techniques as well as a fully explained self-dedication ritual for those who do not feel fully Wiccan without one and a whole chapter on designing rituals.
The first section on Theory covers everything you might want to know about Wicca from Shamanism to Deities, Tools to Rituals, Days of Power to Circle Work.
For the perfect pairing. Read through this book first and then go on to Living Wicca, Scott Cunningham's new book in which he explains how to celebrate the feast days even in difficult circumstances and how to create and design your own personal path.

a good basic guide
I guess this must be classic. It's great for the beginner and for general reference but certainly does repeat so much material from similar books.

Good!
Well written primer on Wicca, although I gave it three stars for being a little dry. I personally like his style in that he does not force a view upon the reader. Read more
