BOOKS - WICCA AND WITCHCRAFT | |
| Wicca Covens | |
 |
By Judy Harrow. This book is about covens: what they are and what they do, how to find one and how to form one, and some of the issues covens will face. The author offers her twenty years' experience as a Witch and seventeen years as High Priestess, along with the insights of more than thirty coven leaders of many difference traditions. The contemporary revival of Witchcraft is based on coven practice. Witches gather in covens - mutually committed, closely bonded, small groups of Wiccan Initiates, good friends, and family by choice - to worship the Old Gods and follow the Old Ways. Covens are support groups for our magical and spiritual development, training groups for our future clergy. Paperback, 280 pages |

| Wicca for Beginners | |
 |
by Thea Sabin. In her first book-length work, Sabin presents a first-rate, fresh and thorough addition to the burgeoning field of earth-based spiritual practice volumes. Sometimes using examples that young people can relate to (SATs, dying grandmothers), she opens the door to this path for people of all ages who want concrete beginnings to 'work actively and spiritually to develop as a person.' Sabin covers well the familiar territory of the calendar, circle, pentagram, tools, etc., but she shines distinctively in several areas. The first is in Wiccan history, written in a light, informative style that magically mines depth, breadth and brevity. Another is in the emphasis on personal will and ethical practices that transcend reliance on external paraphernalia. She also deftly shows how the various tools and spells can be put into use, but always encourages practitioners to utilize their own experiences, environment and spiritual intelligence to shape their practice. Especially helpful are the criteria to assess groups and potential teachers, and the volume is capped by a fine bibliography. Sabin advocates consistent study, practice and evolved learning. Gently admonishing her reader not to become a 'one-book wonder,' Sabin has nearly voided her own advice with this important first effort that is perfect for novice Wiccans. Paperback 262 pgs. |

| Wiccan Beliefs and Practices | |

By Gary Cantrell. Modern Wicca is a vibrant, uplifting nature religion practiced by hundreds of thousands of people in the United States alone. But wearing 'witchy' jewelry and casting a few spells does not make one a witch, for Wicca is a lifestyle and those who walk its path have solemnly dedicated themselves to the service of the Goddess and God. This book was written for the solitary witch or nontraditional small coven. Written by a Wiccan High Priest, it includes crucial information not found in other introductory Wiccan books, including: ethics of a witch, including the Code of Chivalry; how to write and develop your own spells and rituals; the physically challenged witch; out of the broom closet -- is it right for you?; know your rights -- the legal protection of Wicca as a legitimate religion. The author speaks from personal experience with Wiccans of all ages and degrees of physical ability, bringing you an earnest examination of modern Wiccan beliefs and a practical guide to the Craft of the Wise.
