Format:Paperback
This book was a good book that was well laid out gave information I have not read before. There were also a good set of lists at the end of places to write to. This book didn't repeat the same stuff I have read a hundred times but included new stuff as well and is a must for those interested in the craft.

Although this book is not an easy read, it is well worth the effort. It gave far more in-depth information than any other book I have read on Wicca. I would not recommend it for a complete beginner, but for someone wanting a more intellectual, comprehensive work, this is absolutely superb. In particular, the many links with Jungian psychology are fascinating.

Crowley is a distinct change from authors such as Silver Ravenwolf and Fiona Horne. I would recommend this book for an older witch (not your typical teen witch material)
It contains good practical information and diagrams, is referenced well to many diverse sources and is an informative read. It was the second Wicca book I read (yes, the first was Fiona Horne! I thought it was good too... I'm not ashamed)
This book will make you think and answer the questions that you didn't even know you were asking....
so just to re-iterate: serious witch who loves to research? buy this book then! no really, go on...

Wicca The old religeon in the new age
Although this was written some time ago, a lot is still very relevent today. Its written very well, is informative and not "wishy washy" like a lot of modern authors.
