Product Description
From the Author
The book originated as a training manual for the groups that Kate ( my High Priestess at that time) and I conducted. It was suggested that we published the work as at that time there was no up to date down to earth work available on the general market. There were several errors which could not be corrected before the work went to print. It was not designed to take the place of any previously published work on the history of the Craft.It tends to draw more to the practical than the academic and shows more what to do than the history behind it. It remains down to earth in its approach to the Craft.

About the Author
Having travelled extensivley in the middle east , I returned to England and sought initiation with an Oxfordshire coven in 1982. Since then I have actively been involved with Wiccan groups in both main land UK and Europe. I work and live in Devon with my partner and High Priestess Val Sugarman. We welcome any genuine enquiries and can be contacted through our email address

4.0 out of 5 stars No-nonsense introduction, 15 May 2003
By N. Clarke (Lancs, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
While perhaps not as polished as some of the author's later works, this is a useful, practical guide to the Craft from an extremely knowledgeable and respected High Priestess. West is about as far from fluffy bunny Wicca as it is possible to be, and _Born In Albion_ amply reflects this. She cuts through both jargon-Wicca and dumbed-down-Wicca to provide an introduction that is both sensible and practical, and a worthy addition to any witch's library. It is, however, perhaps more concerned with ceremonial practice than some introductions to the Craft; this particular strand may not be to everyone's taste.

(This current edition comes from (the now defunct, I think) Pagan Media, a small publishing outfit run by West's husband. As has been speculated in previous reviews, I gather from the author's website that it is to be re-released in a new edition in the near future).

5.0 out of 5 stars A fresh down to earth book on Witchcraft., 9 Feb 2002
By A Customer
Despite the slightly pretentious and uninformative title, this book is a great beginners guide to the world of Witchcraft. It really scores on being sensible and down to earth about a topic many approach from a very airy fairy perspective. Williams & West have done an excellent job of demystifying the beliefs and practices of Witchcraft, without destroying any of the Mystery.
The book provides practical, no nonsense advice about Covens and their workings, which should more than prepare any person venturing into the Craft. I have read thuis book several times and will no doubt refer to it, often in the future.
