What is Wicca? A modern version of the original pre-Christian, European religious tradition, Wicca focuses on nature and fertility, and embraces learning, equality, and community. In this comprehensive work, Paul Tuitéan and Estelle Daniels describe the traditions and practices of both the Wiccan coven and the individual practitioner, including:

Beliefs and values Wiccans hold in common, and describes festivals, gatherings, holy days, and rites of passage.

great for the beginer!
This book is a verry well and verry informative book. I am just starting to go in the direction of Wicca even though i have been away from Christianity for so long, and this book is verry good for the young beginer like myself. It gives you a-lot of insite into the matter of alternate regigions. I am verry certain that Wicca is the way i will go.

also this was the first book in my library of "odd books" as my friends say, that i have on the subject, i have gotten a bunch more since then[about 10-20 books]

Amazing!
If you are planning on becomming either a solitary or a coven-bread wiccan, I can't stress this to you enough - PURCHASE THIS BOOK! Its the most comprehensive I have seen as of late, I wouldn't be where I am if it wasn't for this single purchase.

It begins with explaining what wicca is and isn't, then moves on to the studies of wicca - and even includes a large glassary on the end of the book!

Utterly comprehensive, indeed ESSENTIAL
I am not Wiccan, though I am sympathetic and exceedingly interested in this fast-growing religion. As such, I wanted a book that would be informative, easy to absorb and broad. This book was actually recommended to me by a high priest in my area, and it did not disappoint. I learned everything I needed to know, which is not to say that I've learned it all...but I think I have the broad strokes. Were I ever to aspire to be a solo-practitioner, this book would no doubt guide me quite adeptly.

Highly recommended. I have been told that the late Paul Tuitean and his wife were (and are) extremely well-loved and highly respected in the Wiccan/pagan community. From what I've gleaned and what I've learned, this book is accurate, fair, and a reference you can trust.

Peace.
