Amazon.co.uk Review
This 1986 classic is not only an excellent introduction to the Wiccan religion and earth-based religions in general, but a workbook which can take the serious student to the equivalent level of third degree Gardnerian. Though Raymond Buckland was a student of the late great Gerald Gardner, this manual does not adhere to a specific branch or denomination of witchcraft, but seeks to teach the elements and philosophies common to all whether Celtic, Saxon, Finnish or what have you. Buckland is credited with bringing the "old religion" to the US and covens and solitary witches practising the craft in the US today have him to thank for getting it out of the closet. While Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft is a must-have for any serious Wiccan practitioner, it is full of down-to-earth spiritual wisdom which makes it a wonderful addition to the library of any broad-minded seeker on the path toward the One. --P Randall Cohan

First Sentence
BEFORE REALLY GETTING into what Witchcraft is, perhaps we should take a look back at what it was-history of it. Read the first page Browse Sample Pages

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   24 of 24 people found the following review helpful: Essential for the beginner, 13 Feb 2002 By A Customer The author of this book, Raymond Buckland, is much criticised in certain areas of the wiccan community. Quite why is not known, but there is a train of thought that suggests that he sold the craft secrets by writing in depth "how to's" way before most of today's wiccan authors decided there was lots of money to be made. Bitchcraft aside, Buckland's "Complete Book Of Witchcraft" is a title I recommend to all newcomers to the craft. Why? Firstly, instead of bogging the reader down with hundreds of pages of elaborate and complex theory, Buckland writes in a simplistic manner, encouraging the reader to actually start doing things rather than just reading about them. It is not an authoritative book, and you will not become an all-powerful witch by reading it. What you will get is a taste for wicca, and a basic knowledge of many of the rituals and magickal practices of the craft. When people set out on the wiccan path, the amount of books available is overwhelming. Wiccans are also not the most sociable people, and it is very difficult for newcomers to find covens or training. This book bypasses those frustrations, and the basic guides to the many craft interests should help newcomers decide on whether they wish to progress to further in-depth studies, and to find where they may have interests or talents. Recommended.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)
