Let me open with a bit of history about myself. Studying comparative religion, anthropology and mythology has been my favorite hobby for over 30 years, and I have been Wiccan for over 20.
When I first saw this book I was stunned that anyone would have the audacity to write an "Idiots Guide" on this topic. While I'm a fan of the "Idiots Guide" and "For Dummies" series for mundane topics, I thought no one in thier right mind would write one on a religion.
Despite my original distaste, my instincts kept pulling me back to this book, and since I'm always having people asking what is a good beginners book for Wicca, I decided to listen to my instincts and give this book a chance. After all, what kind of Wiccan would I be if I didn't listen to my instincts?
Simply put, this is the single best beginners guide to Wicca and Witchcraft(which I consider a religion, not a practice) I have ever read. I would feel comfortable casting circle with anyone who had seriously read through the book and took the time to think about what they are learning. This book gives introductions to most elements of the craft, giving the reader a good, generic, understanding of the basics.
Keep in mind further research will be required. This book will not make you anything more than a beginner, a neophyte. But it will be a good first step on a life long journey of learning.Get more detail about The Complete Idiot's Guide to Wicca and Witchcraft.
