Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner (Llewellyn's Practical Magick) Paperback – Illustrated, 1 Jan. 1989

The item arrived well packaged and no visible signs of damage BUT it skipped/hacked in my computer so a new one was promptly sent. I have the paperback version of this (which I HIGHLY recommend if your a reader!) and I love it. I decided to purchase this item so that my wife and I could listen to it in the car; on the train to/from work or just around the house. It is is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED listening for anyone who is interested in learning more about WICCA (aka The Modern Day Craft). It covers a broad spectrum of information - everything from origins to traditions, rituals, alter items, "proper" dress, Holy Days, moon phases and much more. In my opinion, Scott Cunningham is one of the best writers when it comes to The Craft. His books are easy to read and understand. He explains things simply yet thoroughly without talking over the readers head. My only wish is that they would put more of his books in audio form!

Informative without being judgemental or condescending, really enjoyed the different views and points as a currently solo practitioner of wicca

I enjoyed this book, it gave me insight and connection to nature and the natural world.

Paperback, measuring around 15 cm x 22.5 cm, with 240 good quality pages.From the back cover:'Cunningham's classic introduction to Wicca is about how to live life magically, spiritually, and wholly attuned with nature. It is a book of sense and common sense, not only about magick, but about religion and one of the most critical issues of today: how to achieve the much needed and wholesome relationship with our Earth. Cunningham presents Wicca as it is today: a gentle, Earth-oriented religion dedicated to the Goddess and God. Wicca also includes Scott Cunningham's own Book of Shadows and updated appendices of periodicals and occult suppliers.'

Long ago, when I was a much younger person and afraid to truly admit even to myself that I was meant to follow a different Spiritual Path than most, I borrowed a book from my friend Anton that changed my life. It was "Wicca, A Guide For The Solitary Practitioner", by Scott Cunningham.I read many more of Scott's books and his written presence helped me so much when I had no person in the real world to turn to. So I decided to write to him and say thank you. I was devastated to discover that he was no longer in this life.I felt that I lost a friend I never met. I offered my feelings to the Goddess and the God and to the Spirit of Scott Cunningham. I still Bless his Soul.Scott is still helping me on this Path. I know that my thoughts reach him. I vowed then that I would always remember him on his birthday and light a candle in my Astral Sacred Space for him.

what more is there to say really. I have many of his books. They are easy to read and understand, full of insight and real magic. I've never been disappointed. This is a really good book if you are just starting out. It covers all of the basics. Maybe not for the more advanced among us but an excelllent starting point.

When I opened the Amazon package I could smell sage straight away I don’t know if that a coincidence or what straight feel hooked to the book

It is a must , and I enjoyed most of the content, but I would prefer a much simpler approach to the craft. Overall a solid reading and beginner book
