InformativeJuly 23, 2008 Elen Dugan has a way of writing that makes you feel like youre sitting in her kitchen chatting over tea. She shares personal stories and helpful information. One of my favs. All her books are a must read.
Definitely RecommendedJuly 9, 2008 With all the Pagan/Wicca books, this has to be one of my personal favorites.
While all other Pagan/Wiccan authors tend to take themselves too seriously, Dugan is very down-to-earth and she injects humor into what she writes -- no flowery wording, stuffy attitude, or Christian bashing (unlike Ravenwolf).
This is definitely one of the few books that I would recommend to anybody looking to studying Wicca/Paganism/Witchcraft.
Please pick it up if you find it.

For a long while almost everything I read about Witchcraft was authored by Silver RavenWolf. That hypocrisy and silliness was my milk-- I grew as a practitioner on those books. Now, however, I have read Natural Witchery by Ellen Dugan, and I feel changed as a Witch. I feel whole, like I've been given the whole story, not just Ellen's version of things. Because of this book I am now exploring Natural/Green magic, and am now opening up to Nature and her wonderful creations. I "tuned in" to what's going on with the Earth, and I have Ellen Dugan to thank for it. Fantastic book!

Okay for seekers on the path but too basic for anyone beyond 101. Good for curious teens.
An excellent bookFebruary 20, 2008 I love Dugan's writing style. This book is no exeption. It is full of useful information, wisely put instructions for getting in touch with your own inner magic and personal anecdotes that light up the text.I totaly recomend it as a starting point for anyone who wants to explore the path of Natural Magic. As for those who are just concerned about their friends and family being involved in Wicca it is a good book to start too as it clarifies many misunderstandings about questions like the source of wicca's power etc. In general I loved it! It is simple and powerful. If you are looking for down to earth information on magic and having fun in the same time this is the book for you!
