Exploring Wicca

Rating:
Summary: A good introduction to Wicca, but...
Review: I first found out about the Craft in 1996 from perusing the Frosts' book "The Magic Power of Witchcraft". After reading that book, I bought Scott Cunningham's "Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner". Big difference! "Exploring Wicca" is a good book for beginners and for those who are looking for new ways to celebrate Esbats and Sabbats. The only reason I'm giving this book 4 stars is because of chapter 12, Spellcrafting and Natural Magick. There are 2 spells each for acquiring money and love. The problem I see with money spells in general is that if you're not specific about how you want to acquire the money (get a better job, etc.), then you may get the money from a loved one's passing away, etc. The problem with her love spells is that they are person-specific. One of the worst things you can do with magick is make someone fall in love with you. Money spells need to be specific and love spells need NOT be person-specific. For example, if I were going to do a love spell, I would list of the qualities (inside as well as outside) of the person I'm looking for. I definitely wouldn't do a spell like "Tara, Tara, is under my spell. If she's my lover, then all will be swell!". Other than her spells, Lady Sabrina has some good ideas that are worth exploring, both by neophytes and third-degrees alike! Blessed Be from Texas, ya'll!

Summary: pretty good book
Review: This was the first book that I had ever read on wicca. I really liked the book, except for her part about rituals. Most of her rituals were complicated, and designed for coven work, so if you are a solitary witch or beginning witch, I suggest reading something else first. Otherwise the book was great. Lady Sabrina put a lot of effort into the book, and it's a good addition to any coven witch, or advanced witch's book shelf.
