this just wasn't what I thought it would be. I was unable to find the book in a local bookstore and after receiving it i understand why.
This is the definitive book on witchcraftMay 23, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
For those looking for true, factual information on witchcraft, this is the book. Put all those other Wicca 101 books down. This is real witchcraft presented by real witches.
A Good Primer on What Wicca is Really AboutMay 17, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
For anyone who wants to seriously practice Witchcraft, whether it be in a group or alone, this is a must-have. Janet and Stewart Farrar have given an indispensable resource for rituals, philosophy, and heritage of Wicca. The rituals laid out are descriptive and can be practiced by traditional covens and eclectic groups alike. "Eight Sabbats for Witches" has footnotes giving some very intriguing information. The philosophy is raw and thought-provoking. Subjects such as ethics, sex and the metaphysical aspect of magick is approached wholly and matter-of-factly. There are those who would feel the Farrars were biased when writing this book, and I find this completely understandable. They were practicing Alexandrian tradition, which to my knowledge is very straight laced and "to the book" in their approach to practice. With understanding of their background, the reader must take the author's opinion with a grain of salt. Nonetheless, a good bit of their knowledge and experience is written in this book. This book was written before the massive overload of fluff that saturated the new age market, and that's enough reason to give it a serious look. No Wiccan should turn away from this book, because one is sure to get plenty out of it.

This book is very well written but not what I expected. It would be great for those who either belong to a coven or are wanting to join one. I am a solitary so there is more information than I will ever use or need. EileenDalla
