Description
A well thought-out & highly practical guide to Wicca, the Old Religion, based on a blend of Gardnerian & Alexandrian ritual. The book starts with a brief explanation of the history of modern Wicca, followed by a description of the working tools, the festivals, special celebrations ? Handfasting, Wiccaning and a Requiem, setting up a circle, the philosophy and ethics of magic and how to work it. There are also sections on children in Wicca, incense, suitable recipes and spells. Although the rites and information in this book apply equally to the northern and southern hemispheres the way they are set out is especially useful for Australians and New Zealanders who usually have only northern hemisphere books for guidance where the seasons are quite opposite their own.
