Summary: Beautiful pictures
Review: This is a great coffee table and picture book for anyone interested in applying a goddess centered spirituality to their life. The colors chosen are both bright and vidvid. The two people in the book are also portrayed with such zeal and lucid like photographs one can feel that they are almost in the room with the reader.
Rating: 
Summary: An excellent brief overview for the BEGINNER.
Review: Way different from her other book, A Witch Alone. That book seemed an advanced course direct from the mouth of a nineteenth century British hedgerow witch or kitchen witch: unpretentious hands-on witchcraft that is close to the earth and powerful in its simplicity.THIS book provides an overview to neo-paganism and New Age principles. It touches on meditation, sacred places, herblore, the purpose of ritual, the elements, different types of rituals such as the rite of passage, covens and magical lodges, the moon and sun, astrology, talismans, correspondences, astral travel, inner journeys, ritual tools, shrines and incense, robes and furniture, candles, bread and wine, the wheel of the year, reincarnation, psychic powers, and divination. This sounds like a lot, but it appears mainly as captions to the 96 pages (including index) of beautiful photographs. It compares well as a beginner book with the Illustrated Guide To Wicca by Tony and Aileen Grist, and its focus is broader. It's well-done, but contains nothing new for anyone who has read at least five books on witchcraft.
